Robot-assisted gait training in individuals with spinal cord injury: A systematic review for the clinical effectiveness of Lokomat.

Journal of clinical neuroscience : official journal of the Neurosurgical Society of Australasia
BACKGROUND: Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a critical medical condition that causes numerous impairments leading to accompanying disability. Robotic-assisted gait training (RAGT) offers many advantages, including the capability to increase the intensity...

Robotic assistive and rehabilitation devices leading to motor recovery in upper limb: a systematic review.

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
PURPOSE: Stroke, spinal cord injury and other neuromuscular disorders lead to impairments in the human body. Upper limb impairments, especially hand impairments affect activities of daily living (ADL) and reduce the quality of life. The purpose of th...

Robotic Locomotor Training Leads to Cardiovascular Changes in Individuals With Incomplete Spinal Cord Injury Over a 24-Week Rehabilitation Period: A Randomized Controlled Pilot Study.

Archives of physical medicine and rehabilitation
OBJECTIVE: To describe the effect of robotic locomotor training (RLT) and activity-based training (ABT) on cardiovascular indices during various physiological positions in individuals with spinal cord injury.

Unbiased Recursive Partitioning Enables Robust and Reliable Outcome Prediction in Acute Spinal Cord Injury.

Journal of neurotrauma
Neurological disorders usually present very heterogeneous recovery patterns. Nonetheless, accurate prediction of future clinical end-points and robust definition of homogeneous cohorts are necessary for scientific investigation and targeted care. For...

Converging Robotic Technologies in Targeted Neural Rehabilitation: A Review of Emerging Solutions and Challenges.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Recent advances in the field of neural rehabilitation, facilitated through technological innovation and improved neurophysiological knowledge of impaired motor control, have opened up new research directions. Such advances increase the relevance of e...

Toward improving functional recovery in spinal cord injury using robotics: a pilot study focusing on ankle rehabilitation.

Expert review of medical devices
BACKGROUND: Conventional physical therapy interventions are strongly recommended to improve ambulation potential and upright mobility in persons with incomplete spinal cord injury (iSCI). Ankle rehabilitation plays a significant role, as it aims to s...

Machine intelligence identifies soluble TNFa as a therapeutic target for spinal cord injury.

Scientific reports
Traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) produces a complex syndrome that is expressed across multiple endpoints ranging from molecular and cellular changes to functional behavioral deficits. Effective therapeutic strategies for CNS injury are therefore li...

Wearable rehabilitation exoskeletons of the lower limb: analysis of versatility and adaptability.

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
PURPOSE: To analyse the versatility and adaptability of commercially available exoskeletons for mobility assistance and their adaptation to diverse pathologies through a review of clinical trials in robotic lower limb training.

Relationship between Machine-Learning Image Classification of T-Weighted Intramedullary Hypointensity on 3 Tesla Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Clinical Outcome in Dogs with Severe Spinal Cord Injury.

Journal of neurotrauma
Early prognostic information in cases of severe spinal cord injury can aid treatment planning and stratification for clinical trials. Analysis of intraparenchymal signal change on magnetic resonance imaging has been suggested to inform outcome predic...

Clinician Perceptions of Robotic Exoskeletons for Locomotor Training After Spinal Cord Injury: A Qualitative Approach.

Archives of physical medicine and rehabilitation
OBJECTIVE: To describe the experiences of clinicians who have used robotic exoskeletons in their practice and acquire information that can guide clinical decisions and training strategies related to robotic exoskeletons.
