A Poincare map based analysis of stroke patients' walking after a rehabilitation by a robot.

Mathematical biosciences
Since the past decade, rehabilitation robots have become common technologies for recovering gait ability after a stroke. Nevertheless, it is believed that these robots can be further enhanced. Hence, several researches are making progress in optimizi...

Predictors of activities of daily living outcomes after upper limb robot-assisted therapy in subacute stroke patients.

PloS one
BACKGROUND: Upper limb recovery is one of the main goals of post-stroke rehabilitation due to its importance for autonomy in Activities of Daily Living (ADL). Although the efficacy of upper limb Robot-assisted Therapy (RT) is well established in lite...

Human arm joints reconstruction algorithm in rehabilitation therapies assisted by end-effector robotic devices.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: End-effector robots are commonly used in robot-assisted neuro-rehabilitation therapies for upper limbs where the patient's hand can be easily attached to a splint. Nevertheless, they are not able to estimate and control the kinematic conf...

Systematic Review of Appropriate Robotic Intervention for Gait Function in Subacute Stroke Patients.

BioMed research international
The purpose of this study was to critically evaluate the effects of robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) on gait-related function in patients with acute/subacute stroke. We conducted a systematic review of randomized controlled trials published betwee...

Comparison of proximal versus distal upper-limb robotic rehabilitation on motor performance after stroke: a cluster controlled trial.

Scientific reports
This study examined the treatment efficacy of proximal-emphasized robotic rehabilitation by using the InMotion ARM (P-IMT) versus distal-emphasized robotic rehabilitation by using the InMotion WRIST (D-IMT) in patients with stroke. A total of 40 pati...

An overview of robotic/mechanical devices for post-stroke thumb rehabilitation.

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
PURPOSE: This article aims to clarify the current state-of-the-art of robotic/mechanical devices for post-stroke thumb rehabilitation as well as the anatomical characteristics and motions of the thumb that are crucial for the development of any devic...

Efficacy of the Regent Suit-based rehabilitation on gait EMG patterns in hemiparetic subjects: a pilot study.

European journal of physical and rehabilitation medicine
BACKGROUND: The recovery of the functional limb mobility of patients with cerebral damages can take great benefit of the role offered by proprioceptive rehabilitation. Recently have been developed a special Regent Suit (RS) for rehabilitative applica...

Development of a System Architecture for Evaluation and Training of Proprioceptive Deficits of the Upper Limb.

Computational intelligence and neuroscience
Proprioception plays a fundamental role in maintaining posture and executing movement, and the quantitative evaluation of proprioceptive deficits in poststroke patients is important. But currently it is not widely performed due to the complexity of t...

Predicting post-stroke activities of daily living through a machine learning-based approach on initiating rehabilitation.

International journal of medical informatics
OBJECTIVES: Prediction of activities of daily living (ADL) is crucial for optimized care of post-stroke patients. However, no suitably-validated and practical models are currently available in clinical practice.

Combining robotic training and inactivation of the healthy hemisphere restores pre-stroke motor patterns in mice.

eLife
Focal cortical stroke often leads to persistent motor deficits, prompting the need for more effective interventions. The efficacy of rehabilitation can be increased by 'plasticity-stimulating' treatments that enhance experience-dependent modification...
