Comparative Effects of Different Assistance Force During Robot-Assisted Gait Training on Locomotor Functions in Patients With Subacute Stroke: An Assessor-Blind, Randomized Controlled Trial.

American journal of physical medicine & rehabilitation
OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to compare the effects of progressive reducing assistance force versus full assistance force controlled robot-assisted gait training combined with conventional physiotherapy on locomotor functions in patients with ...

Robotic and Sensor Technology for Upper Limb Rehabilitation.

PM & R : the journal of injury, function, and rehabilitation
Robotic and sensor-based neurologic rehabilitation for the upper limb is an established concept for motor learning and is recommended in many national guidelines. The complexity of the human hands and arms and the different activities of daily living...

The economic cost of robotic rehabilitation for adult stroke patients: a systematic review protocol.

JBI database of systematic reviews and implementation reports
The objective of this review is to identify the best available evidence on the economic cost of robotic rehabilitation for adult stroke patients to improve their motor movement abilities. More specifically, the objective is to identify the evidence o...

Effect of reducing assistance during robot-assisted gait training on step length asymmetry in patients with hemiplegic stroke: A randomized controlled pilot trial.

Medicine
BACKGROUND: An assist-as-needed robot-assisted gait training protocol was recently developed. It allows active movement during training, but its exact criteria remain unknown. Asymmetric step length is a common abnormal gait pattern in hemiplegic str...

Effects of newly developed compact robot-aided upper extremity training system (Neuro-X®) in patients with stroke: A pilot study.

Journal of rehabilitation medicine
OBJECTIVE: Robot-assisted rehabilitation therapy of the upper extremity after stroke has been studied widely; however, robotic devices remain expensive and bulky. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of a newly developed, compact upper e...

Towards Robot-Based Cognitive and Motor Assessment Across the HIV-Stroke Spectrum.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
There is an increasing population of people living with both HIV and stroke around the world with no effective neurorehabilitation strategies to deal with the combination of physical, cognitive, and social impairment that result from both diseases. T...

A Velocity-Based Flow Field Control Approach for Reshaping Movement of Stroke-Impaired Individuals with a Lower-Limb Exoskeleton.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
This paper describes a controller for guiding and assisting leg movement during walking with a lower limb exoskeleton with actuated hip and knee joints. The primary novel aspect of the controller is that it employs a virtual flow field to influence m...

Energetics during robot-assisted training predicts recovery in stroke.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Clinical investigators have asserted patients should be active participants in the therapy process in stroke rehabilitation. While robotics introduces new tools for measurement and treatment of motor impairments, it also presents challenges for evalu...

Reduced Effort Does Not Imply Slacking: Responsiveness to Error Increases With Robotic Assistance.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
In both neurorehabilitation and functional augmentation, the patient or the user's muscular effort diminishes when the movement of their limb is supported by a robot. Is this relaxation a result of "slacking" by letting the robot take-over the moveme...

[Study on the center-driven multiple degrees of freedom upper limb rehabilitation training robot].

Sheng wu yi xue gong cheng xue za zhi = Journal of biomedical engineering = Shengwu yixue gongchengxue zazhi
With the aging of the society, the number of stroke patients has been increasing year by year. Compared with the traditional rehabilitation therapy, the application of upper limb rehabilitation robot has higher efficiency and better rehabilitation ef...
