Exoskeleton and End-Effector Robots for Upper and Lower Limbs Rehabilitation: Narrative Review.

PM & R : the journal of injury, function, and rehabilitation
Recovery of upper and lower limbs function is essential to reach independence in daily activities in patients with upper motor neuron syndrome (UMNS). Rehabilitation can provide a guide for motor recovery influencing the neurobiology of neuronal plas...

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...

Investigating Upper Limb Movement Classification on Users with Tetraplegia as a Possible Neuroprosthesis Interface.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Spinal cord injury (SCI), stroke and other nervous system conditions can result in partial or total paralysis of individual's limbs. Numerous technologies have been proposed to assist neurorehabilitation or movement restoration, e.g. robotics or neur...

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...

Sensibility Assessment For User Interface And Training Program Of An Upper-Limb Rehabilitation Robot, D-SEMUL.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Upper-limb rehabilitation training for hemiplegic patients has been primarily conducted by human therapists, and, hence, their use of training methods and conditions strongly depends on their expertise. The force control and motion sensing functions ...

Feature Learning in Assistive Rehabilitation Robotic Systems.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Feature learning plays a crucial role in data analysis when the measured data is in a high dimensional space. This paper applied the feature learning technique in data set collected from human movement experiments in an upper limb rehabilitation robo...

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...

Unsupervised Phase Learning and Extraction from Repetitive Movements.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Phase extraction from repetitive movements is one crucial part in various applications such as interactive robotics, physical rehabilitation, or gait analysis. However, pre-existing automatic phase extraction techniques are specific to a target movem...

Effectiveness of a single session of dual-transcranial direct current stimulation in combination with upper limb robotic-assisted rehabilitation in chronic stroke patients: a randomized, double-blind, cross-over study.

International journal of rehabilitation research. Internationale Zeitschrift fur Rehabilitationsforschung. Revue internationale de recherches de readaptation
The impact of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is controversial in the neurorehabilitation literature. It has been suggested that tDCS should be combined with other therapy to improve their efficacy. To assess the effectiveness of a sin...
