Recovery and compensation after robotic assisted gait training in chronic stroke survivors.

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
Gait re-education is a primary rehabilitation goal after stroke. In the last decades, robots with different mechanical structures have been extensively used in the clinical practice for gait training of stroke survivors. However, the effectiveness o...

Evolution of upper limb kinematics four years after subacute robot-assisted rehabilitation in stroke patients.

The International journal of neuroscience
To assess functional status and robot-based kinematic measures four years after subacute robot-assisted rehabilitation in hemiparesis. Twenty-two patients with stroke-induced hemiparesis underwent a ≥3-month upper limb combined program of robot-ass...

Feasibility of robot-based perturbed-balance training during treadmill walking in a high-functioning chronic stroke subject: a case-control study.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: For stroke survivors, balance deficits that persist after the completion of the rehabilitation process lead to a significant risk of falls. We have recently developed a balance-assessment robot (BAR-TM) that enables assessment of balancin...

Dynamic Modeling and Interactive Performance of PARM: A Parallel Upper-Limb Rehabilitation Robot Using Impedance Control for Patients after Stroke.

Journal of healthcare engineering
The robot-assisted therapy has been demonstrated to be effective in the improvements of limb function and even activities of daily living for patients after stroke. This paper presents an interactive upper-limb rehabilitation robot with a parallel me...

Motor Imagery-Based Brain-Computer Interface Coupled to a Robotic Hand Orthosis Aimed for Neurorehabilitation of Stroke Patients.

Journal of healthcare engineering
Motor imagery-based brain-computer interfaces (BCI) have shown potential for the rehabilitation of stroke patients; however, low performance has restricted their application in clinical environments. Therefore, this work presents the implementation o...

A Review of Robotics in Neurorehabilitation: Towards an Automated Process for Upper Limb.

Journal of healthcare engineering
Robot-mediated neurorehabilitation is a growing field that seeks to incorporate advances in robotics combined with neuroscience and rehabilitation to define new methods for treating problems related with neurological diseases. In this paper, a system...

Early robot-assisted gait retraining in non-ambulatory patients with stroke: a single blind randomized controlled trial.

European journal of physical and rehabilitation medicine
BACKGROUND: Restoration of walking function is a primary concern of neurorehabilitation with respect to the aspired social and vocational reintegration. To date, the best practice for improving gait early after stroke is still object of debate. On on...

Development of a New Robotic Ankle Rehabilitation Platform for Hemiplegic Patients after Stroke.

Journal of healthcare engineering
A large amount of hemiplegic survivors are suffering from motor impairment. Ankle rehabilitation exercises act an important role in recovering patients' walking ability after stroke. Currently, patients mainly perform ankle exercise to reobtain range...

Biomechanical mechanisms underlying exosuit-induced improvements in walking economy after stroke.

The Journal of experimental biology
Stroke-induced hemiparetic gait is characteristically asymmetric and metabolically expensive. Weakness and impaired control of the paretic ankle contribute to reduced forward propulsion and ground clearance - walking subtasks critical for safe and ef...
