Activity-based training with the Myosuit: a safety and feasibility study across diverse gait disorders.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Physical activity is a recommended part of treatment for numerous neurological and neuromuscular disorders. Yet, many individuals with limited mobility are not able to meet the recommended activity levels. Lightweight, wearable robots lik...

Sensor Fusion in Assistive and Rehabilitation Robotics.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
As the world's population gradually grows older, more and more adults are experiencing sensory-motor disabilities due to stroke, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury and other diseases [...].

Robotic Rehabilitation in Spinal Cord Injury: A Pilot Study on End-Effectors and Neurophysiological Outcomes.

Annals of biomedical engineering
Robot-aided gait training (RAGT) has been implemented to provide patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) with a physiological limb activation during gait, cognitive engagement, and an appropriate stimulation of peripheral receptors, which are essentia...

Users with spinal cord injury experience of robotic Locomotor exoskeletons: a qualitative study of the benefits, limitations, and recommendations.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Persons with spinal cord injury (SCI) may experience both psychological and physiological benefits from robotic locomotor exoskeleton use, and knowledgeable users may have valuable perspectives to inform future development. The objective ...

Intra-cortical brain-machine interfaces for controlling upper-limb powered muscle and robotic systems in spinal cord injury.

Clinical neurology and neurosurgery
OBJECTIVE: Intracortical brain-machine interface (iBMI) is an assistive strategy to restore lost sensorimotor function by bridging the disrupted neural pathways to reanimate paralyzed limbs. However, to date, none of the studies explored the trade-of...

Comparison study of classification methods of intramuscular electromyography data for non-human primate model of traumatic spinal cord injury.

Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. Part H, Journal of engineering in medicine
Traumatic spinal cord injury is a serious neurological disorder. Patients experience a plethora of symptoms that can be attributed to the nerve fiber tracts that are compromised. This includes limb weakness, sensory impairment, and truncal instabilit...

Improving Grasp Function After Spinal Cord Injury With a Soft Robotic Glove.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
People with tetraplegia resulting from spinal cord injury experience debilitating hand impairments that may lead to lifelong dependence on others to perform activities of daily living. Wearable robotic devices that actively support hand function duri...

Effects of Robot-Assisted Gait Training in Individuals with Spinal Cord Injury: A Meta-analysis.

BioMed research international
BACKGROUND: To investigate the effects of robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) on spasticity and pain in people with spinal cord injury (SCI). . Four electronic databases (PubMed, Scopus, Medline, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials) we...

A Myoelectric Control Interface for Upper-Limb Robotic Rehabilitation Following Spinal Cord Injury.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a widespread, life-altering injury leading to impairment of sensorimotor function that, while once thought to be permanent, is now being treated with the hope of one day being able to restore function. Surface electromyogr...
