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...

Stroke localization and classification using microwave tomography with k-means clustering and support vector machine.

Bioelectromagnetics
For any chance for stroke patients to survive, the stroke type should be classified to enable giving medication within a few hours of the onset of symptoms. In this paper, a microwave-based stroke localization and classification framework is proposed...

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...

Applying natural language processing techniques to develop a task-specific EMR interface for timely stroke thrombolysis: A feasibility study.

International journal of medical informatics
OBJECTIVE: To reduce errors in determining eligibility for intravenous thrombolytic therapy (IVT) in stroke patients through use of an enhanced task-specific electronic medical record (EMR) interface powered by natural language processing (NLP) techn...

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...

Kinematic measures for upper limb robot-assisted therapy following stroke and correlations with clinical outcome measures: A review.

Medical engineering & physics
AIM OF THE STUDY: This review classifies the kinematic measures used to evaluate post-stroke motor impairment following upper limb robot-assisted rehabilitation and investigates their correlations with clinical outcome measures.

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...

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...

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.
