Robotic neurorehabilitation in patients with chronic stroke: psychological well-being beyond motor improvement.

International journal of rehabilitation research. Internationale Zeitschrift fur Rehabilitationsforschung. Revue internationale de recherches de readaptation
Although gait abnormality is one of the most disabling events following stroke, cognitive, and psychological impairments can be devastating. The Lokomat is a robotic that has been used widely for gait rehabilitation in several movement disorders, esp...

Development of a method to quantify inter-limb coupling in individuals with hemiparetic stroke.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
A common motor deficit in individuals post-stroke is altered interlimb coupling. Efforts at one extremity can cause involuntary muscle activity and movement at a different extremity. An important step in understanding interlimb coupling and developin...

Efficacy of Feedback-Controlled Robotics-Assisted Treadmill Exercise to Improve Cardiovascular Fitness Early After Stroke: A Randomized Controlled Pilot Trial.

Journal of neurologic physical therapy : JNPT
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Cardiovascular fitness is greatly reduced after stroke. Although individuals with mild to moderate impairments benefit from conventional cardiovascular exercise interventions, there is a lack of effective approaches for person...

A proposal for patient-tailored supervision of movement performance during end-effector-based robot-assisted rehabilitation of the upper extremities.

Biomedizinische Technik. Biomedical engineering
Millions of people worldwide suffer from stroke each year. One way to assist patients cost-effectively during their rehabilitation process is using end-effector-based robot-assisted rehabilitation. Such systems allow patients to use their own movemen...

Ambient Temperature Change Increases in Stroke Onset: Analyses Based on the Japanese Regional Metrological Measurements.

Journal of Nippon Medical School = Nippon Ika Daigaku zasshi
BACKGROUND: Relationships between various climate factors and stroke have long been a subject of investigation. The present study investigated in a single medical center the effects of periodic temperature changes on the onset of intracerebral hemorr...

Assessing neuro-motor recovery in a stroke survivor with high-resolution EEG, robotics and Virtual Reality.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
One post-stroke patient underwent neuro-motor rehabilitation of one upper limb with a novel system combining a passive robotic device, Virtual Reality training applications and high resolution electroencephalography (HR-EEG). The outcome of the clini...

Compliant gait assistance triggered by user intention.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
An automatic gait initialization strategy based on user intention sensing in the context of rehabilitation with a lower-limb wearable robot is proposed and evaluated. The proposed strategy involves monitoring the human-orthosis interaction torques an...

Do post-stroke patients benefit from robotic verticalization? A pilot-study focusing on a novel neurophysiological approach.

Restorative neurology and neuroscience
BACKGROUND: Tilt-table equipped with the dynamic foot-support (ERIGO) and the functional electric stimulation could be a safe and suitable device for stabilization of vital signs, increasing patient's motivation for further recovery, decreasing the d...

Improved walking ability with wearable robot-assisted training in patients suffering chronic stroke.

Bio-medical materials and engineering
Wearable robotic devices provide safe and intensive rehabilitation, enabling repeated motions for motor function recovery in stroke patients. The aim of this small case series was to demonstrate the training effects of a three-week robotic leg orthos...
