Neural mechanisms underlying the improvement of gait disturbances in stroke patients through robot-assisted gait training based on QEEG and fNIRS: a randomized controlled study.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted gait training is more effective in improving lower limb function and walking ability in stroke patients compared to conventional rehabilitation, but the neural mechanisms remain unclear. This study aims to explore the effec...

Reinforcement Learning-Driven Path Generation for Ankle Rehabilitation Robot Using Musculoskeletal-Informed Energy Optimization.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
In rehabilitation robotics, optimizing energy consumption and high interaction forces is essential to prevent unnecessary muscle fatigue and excessive joint loading as they often cause an inefficient trajectory planning and disrupt natural movement p...

Development and Validation of the Novel Exergame-Integrated Robotic Stepper Device for Seated Lower Limb Rehabilitation.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Seated rehabilitation is essential in early-stage recovery for patients who can sit but cannot stand or walk. Robotic-based lower limb rehabilitation provides precise, task-specific training for recovery, but its application in seated exercises remai...

Effects of exoskeleton rehabilitation robot training on neuroplasticity and lower limb motor function in patients with stroke.

BMC neurology
BACKGROUND: Lower limb exoskeleton rehabilitation robot is a new technology to improve the lower limb motor function of stroke patients. Recovery of motor function after stroke is closely related to neuroplasticity in the motor cortex and associated ...

Industrial-grade collaborative robots for motor rehabilitation after stroke and spinal cord injury: a systematic narrative review.

Biomedical engineering online
BACKGROUND: There is a growing interest in exploring industrial-grade collaborative robots (cobots) for rehabilitation. This review explores their application for motor rehabilitation of the upper and lower extremities after a stroke and spinal cord ...

Flexor Synergy Assessment and Therapy for Persons With Stroke Using the ULIX Low Impedance Robot.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
The flexor synergy after stroke results in involuntary activation of distal muscles when lifting the shoulder against gravity. This contributes to impaired ability to perform activities of daily living. Robotic exoskeletons can be useful in assessing...

A robotic rehabilitation intervention in a home setting during the Covid-19 outbreak: a feasibility pilot study in patients with stroke.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Telerehabilitation allows patients to engage in therapy away from healthcare facilities, often in the comfort of their homes. Studies have suggested that it can effectively improve motor and cognitive function. However, its applicability ...

A wearable ankle-assisted robot for improving gait function and pattern in stroke patients.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Hemiplegic gait after a stroke can result in a decreased gait speed and asymmetrical gait pattern. Normal gait patterns and speed are typically the ultimate goals of gait function in stroke rehabilitation. The purpose of this study was to...

Brain-Computer Interface-controlled Upper Limb Robotic System for Enhancing Daily Activities in Stroke Patients.

Journal of visualized experiments : JoVE
This study introduces a Brain-Computer Interface (BCI)-controlled upper limb assistive robot for post-stroke rehabilitation. The system utilizes electroencephalogram (EEG) and electrooculogram (EOG) signals to help users assist upper limb function in...
