Machine Learning Algorithm Identifies the Importance of Environmental Factors for Hospital Discharge to Home of Stroke Patients using Wheelchair after Discharge.

Journal of stroke and cerebrovascular diseases : the official journal of National Stroke Association
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Physical environmental factors are generally likely to become barriers for discharge to home of wheelchair users, compared with non-wheelchair users. However, the importance of environmental factors has not been investigated a...

Robotic-assisted gait rehabilitation following stroke: a systematic review of current guidelines and practical clinical recommendations.

European journal of physical and rehabilitation medicine
INTRODUCTION: Stroke is the third leading cause of adult disability worldwide, and lower extremity motor impairment is one of the major determinants of long-term disability. Although robotic therapy is becoming more and more utilized in research prot...

A System for Neuromotor Based Rehabilitation on a Passive Robotic Aid.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
In the aging world population, the occurrence of neuromotor deficits arising from stroke and other medical conditions is expected to grow, demanding the design of new and more effective approaches to rehabilitation. In this paper, we show how the com...

A Model-Based Analysis of Supraspinal Mechanisms of Inter-Leg Coordination in Human Gait: Toward Model-Informed Robot-Assisted Rehabilitation.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Stroke survivors are often left suffering from gait instability due to hemiparesis. This gait dysfunction can lead to higher fall rates and an overall decrease in quality of life. Though there are many post-stroke gait rehabilitation methods in use c...

Effect of Robot Assisted Gait Training on Motor and Walking Function in Patients with Subacute Stroke: A Random Controlled Study.

Journal of stroke and cerebrovascular diseases : the official journal of National Stroke Association
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted gait training has been confirmed to have beneficial effect on the rehabilitation of stroke patients. An exoskeleton robot, named BEAR-H1, is designed to help stroke patients with walking disabilities.

Effects of a Soft Robotic Hand for Hand Rehabilitation in Chronic Stroke Survivors.

Journal of stroke and cerebrovascular diseases : the official journal of National Stroke Association
OBJECTIVES: Soft robotic hands are proposed for stroke rehabilitation in terms of their high compliance and low inherent stiffness. We investigated the clinical efficacy of a soft robotic hand that could actively flex and extend the fingers in chroni...

Development of a Planar Haptic Robot With Minimized Impedance.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
Several studies have reported that stroke survivors displayed improved voluntary planar movements when forces supporting the upper limb increased, and when impeding forces decreased. Earlier haptic devices interacting with the human upper limb were p...

Exploiting telerobotics for sensorimotor rehabilitation: a locomotor embodiment.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Manual treadmill training is used for rehabilitating locomotor impairments but can be physically demanding for trainers. This has been addressed by enlisting robots, but in doing so, the ability of trainers to use their experience and jud...

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...

Feasibility and preliminary efficacy of a combined virtual reality, robotics and electrical stimulation intervention in upper extremity stroke rehabilitation.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Approximately 80% of individuals with chronic stroke present with long lasting upper extremity (UE) impairments. We designed the perSonalized UPper Extremity Rehabilitation (SUPER) intervention, which combines robotics, virtual reality ac...
