Gait training using a wearable robotic hip device for incomplete spinal cord injury: A preliminary study.

The journal of spinal cord medicine
CONTEXT/OBJECTIVE: To explore changes in gait functions for patients with chronic spinal cord injury (SCI) before and after standard rehabilitation and rehabilitation with a wearable hip device, explore the utility of robot-assisted gait training (RA...

Assessing walking ability using a robotic gait trainer: opportunities and limitations of assist-as-needed control in spinal cord injury.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Walking impairments are a common consequence of neurological disorders and are assessed with clinical scores that suffer from several limitations. Robot-assisted locomotor training is becoming an established clinical practice. Besides tra...

A robot-assisted laparoscopic revision of an artificial urinary sphincter in a patient with spinal cord injury.

BJU international
This step-by-step article demonstrates our approach to robot-assisted laparoscopic revision of a bladder neck sited artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) for a spinal cord injured patient. The bladder neck location of an AUS in the spinal cord injured d...

Robotic locomotor training in a low-resource setting: a randomized pilot and feasibility trial.

Disability and rehabilitation
PURPOSE: Activity-based Training (ABT) represents the current standard of neurological rehabilitation. Robotic Locomotor Training (RLT), an innovative technique, aims to enhance rehabilitation outcomes. This study aimed to conduct a randomized pilot ...

Effects of robot-assisted gait training on cardiopulmonary function and lower extremity strength in individuals with spinal cord injury: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

The journal of spinal cord medicine
CONTEXT: Robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) has been increasingly adopted in many rehabilitation facilities for walking function and activity in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). However, the effectiveness of RAGT on lower extremity strengt...

Cost-effectiveness analysis of overground robotic training versus conventional locomotor training in people with spinal cord injury.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Few, if any estimates of cost-effectiveness for locomotor training strategies following spinal cord injury (SCI) are available. The purpose of this study was to estimate the cost-effectiveness of locomotor training strategies following sp...

Neuromodulation with transcutaneous spinal stimulation reveals different groups of motor profiles during robot-guided stepping in humans with incomplete spinal cord injury.

Experimental brain research
Neuromodulation via spinal stimulation has been investigated for improving motor function and reducing spasticity after spinal cord injury (SCI) in humans. Despite the reported heterogeneity of outcomes, few investigations have attempted to discern c...

Body weight-supported gait training for patients with spinal cord injury: a network meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials.

Scientific reports
Different body weight-supported gait-training strategies are available for improving ambulation in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). These include body weight-supported overground training (BWSOGT), body weight-supported treadmill training (...
