Gait Event Detection for Stroke Patients during Robot-Assisted Gait Training.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Functional electrical stimulation and robot-assisted gait training are techniques which are used in a clinical routine to enhance the rehabilitation process of stroke patients. By combining these technologies, therapy effects could be further improve...

Can robotic gait rehabilitation plus Virtual Reality affect cognitive and behavioural outcomes in patients with chronic stroke? A randomized controlled trial involving three different protocols.

Journal of stroke and cerebrovascular diseases : the official journal of National Stroke Association
BACKGROUND: The rehabilitation of cognitive and behavioral abnormalities in individuals with stroke is essential for promoting patient's recovery and autonomy. The aim of our study is to evaluate the effects of robotic neurorehabilitation using Lokom...

Inpatient stroke rehabilitation: prediction of clinical outcomes using a machine-learning approach.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: In clinical practice, therapists often rely on clinical outcome measures to quantify a patient's impairment and function. Predicting a patient's discharge outcome using baseline clinical information may help clinicians design more targete...

A Case of Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation for Childhood Stroke Hyperkinesis: A Brief Report.

Developmental neurorehabilitation
AIM: Some conditions within specific populations are so rare rigorous evidence is unavailable. Childhood hyperkinesis is one example, yet presents an opportunity to examine sensation's contribution to motor function.

Effects of gait exercise assist robot (GEAR) on subjects with chronic stroke: A randomized controlled pilot trial.

Journal of stroke and cerebrovascular diseases : the official journal of National Stroke Association
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate whether gait training using the Gait Exercise Assist Robot (GEAR) is more effective for improving gait ability than treadmill gait training in chronic stroke subjects.

Adaptive robot mediated upper limb training using electromyogram-based muscle fatigue indicators.

PloS one
Studies on improving the adaptability of upper limb rehabilitation training do not often consider the implications of muscle fatigue sufficiently. In this study, electromyogram features were used as fatigue indicators in the context of human-robot in...

The fourier M2 robotic machine combined with occupational therapy on post-stroke upper limb function and independence-related quality of life: A randomized clinical trial.

Topics in stroke rehabilitation
Most post-stroke patients experience upper limb functionality challenges. Emergent therapies using upper limb-based robot machines present opportunities to resolve the limitations inherent in Occupational therapy such as increased therapist-patient e...

Development of a Novel Task-oriented Rehabilitation Program using a Bimanual Exoskeleton Robotic Hand.

Journal of visualized experiments : JoVE
A robot-assisted hand is used for the rehabilitation of patients with impaired upper limb function, particularly for stroke patients with a loss of motor control. However, it is unclear how conventional occupational training strategies can be applied...

A pilot study on the design and validation of a hybrid exoskeleton robotic device for hand rehabilitation.

Journal of hand therapy : official journal of the American Society of Hand Therapists
STUDY DESIGN: An iterative design process was used to obtain design parameters that satisfy both kinematic and dynamic requirements for the hand exoskeleton. This design was validated through experimental studies.

Motor improvement estimation and task adaptation for personalized robot-aided therapy: a feasibility study.

Biomedical engineering online
BACKGROUND: In the past years, robotic systems have become increasingly popular in upper limb rehabilitation. Nevertheless, clinical studies have so far not been able to confirm superior efficacy of robotic therapy over conventional methods. The pers...
