A Robotic Platform for 3D Forelimb Rehabilitation with Rats.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
In an attempt to promote greater functional recovery after spinal cord injury, researchers have begun exploring combinatorial treatments, such as robotic rehabilitation combined with stem cell transplantation. Since these treatment methods are in the...

Robot-assisted locomotor training did not improve walking function in patients with chronic incomplete spinal cord injury: A randomized clinical trial.

Journal of rehabilitation medicine
OBJECTIVE: To assess the effects of robot-assisted locomotor training in patients with chronic incomplete spinal cord injury.

Investigating Upper Limb Movement Classification on Users with Tetraplegia as a Possible Neuroprosthesis Interface.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Spinal cord injury (SCI), stroke and other nervous system conditions can result in partial or total paralysis of individual's limbs. Numerous technologies have been proposed to assist neurorehabilitation or movement restoration, e.g. robotics or neur...

Robotic Rehabilitation and Spinal Cord Injury: a Narrative Review.

Neurotherapeutics : the journal of the American Society for Experimental NeuroTherapeutics
Mobility after spinal cord injury (SCI) is among the top goals of recovery and improvement in quality of life. Those with tetraplegia rank hand function as the most important area of recovery in their lives, and those with paraplegia, walking. Withou...

Brain-machine interfaces for controlling lower-limb powered robotic systems.

Journal of neural engineering
OBJECTIVE: Lower-limb, powered robotics systems such as exoskeletons and orthoses have emerged as novel robotic interventions to assist or rehabilitate people with walking disabilities. These devices are generally controlled by certain physical maneu...

Robot-Assisted Training of Arm and Hand Movement Shows Functional Improvements for Incomplete Cervical Spinal Cord Injury.

American journal of physical medicine & rehabilitation
OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to demonstrate the feasibility, tolerability, and effectiveness of robotic-assisted arm training in incomplete chronic tetraplegia.

Robotic Hand-Assisted Training for Spinal Cord Injury Driven by Myoelectric Pattern Recognition: A Case Report.

American journal of physical medicine & rehabilitation
A 51-year-old man with an incomplete C6 spinal cord injury sustained 26 yrs ago attended twenty 2-hr visits over 10 wks for robot-assisted hand training driven by myoelectric pattern recognition. In each visit, his right hand was assisted to perform ...

[Treatment of odontoid fracture combined with lower cervical spinal cord injuries without fracture or dislocation].

Zhongguo xiu fu chong jian wai ke za zhi = Zhongguo xiufu chongjian waike zazhi = Chinese journal of reparative and reconstructive surgery
OBJECTIVE: To discuss the clinical characteristics, mechanism, and treatment of odontoid fracture combined with lower cervical spinal cord injuries without fracture or dislocation.

Addition of forelimb training reduces gains from robotic gait training in a rat model of spinal cord injury.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
To restore locomotor function following spinal cord injury the disrupted descending supraspinal drive needs to be re-connected to regions caudal to the injury. Robotic gait training aims to facilitate recovery by stimulating the proprioceptive networ...
