Self-selected speed gait training in Parkinson's disease: robot-assisted gait training with virtual reality versus gait training on the ground.

European journal of physical and rehabilitation medicine
BACKGROUND: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder causing progressive gait disability. Although robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) using the Lokomat device has been demonstrated to improve gait in PD, it is not clear what the best...

Effect of forward-directed aiding force on gait mechanics in healthy young adults while walking faster.

Gait & posture
BACKGROUND: Forces can be applied to people while they are walking on a treadmill in different ways that aid individuals to walk at faster walking speeds with potentially less effort. Forward-directed aiding forces (FAF) are a special class of aiding...

Recovery and compensation after robotic assisted gait training in chronic stroke survivors.

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
Gait re-education is a primary rehabilitation goal after stroke. In the last decades, robots with different mechanical structures have been extensively used in the clinical practice for gait training of stroke survivors. However, the effectiveness o...

Maintaining stable transfemoral amputee gait on level, sloped and simulated uneven conditions in a virtual environment.

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
PURPOSE: Describe and quantify how people with transfemoral amputations (TFA) maintain stable gait over a variety of surfaces; including, downhill and uphill, top and bottom-cross-slopes, medial-lateral translations, rolling hills and simulated rocky...

Walking speed is not the best outcome to evaluate the effect of robotic assisted gait training in people with motor incomplete Spinal Cord Injury: A Systematic Review with meta-analysis.

The journal of spinal cord medicine
CONTEXT: While there are previous systematic reviews on the effectiveness of the use of robotic-assisted gait training (RAGT) in people with spinal cord injuries (SCI), as this is a dynamic field, new studies have been produced that are now incorpora...

MIT-Skywalker: considerations on the Design of a Body Weight Support System.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: To provide body weight support during walking and balance training, one can employ two distinct embodiments: support through a harness hanging from an overhead system or support through a saddle/seat type. This paper presents a comparison...

Robotic Gait Training for Individuals With Cerebral Palsy: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Archives of physical medicine and rehabilitation
OBJECTIVE: To identify the effects of robotic gait training practices in individuals with cerebral palsy.

Robotic Resistance Treadmill Training Improves Locomotor Function in Children With Cerebral Palsy: A Randomized Controlled Pilot Study.

Archives of physical medicine and rehabilitation
OBJECTIVE: To determine whether applying controlled resistance forces to the legs during the swing phase of gait may improve the efficacy of treadmill training as compared with applying controlled assistance forces in children with cerebral palsy (CP...

Electromechanical-assisted training for walking after stroke.

The Cochrane database of systematic reviews
BACKGROUND: Electromechanical- and robotic-assisted gait-training devices are used in rehabilitation and might help to improve walking after stroke. This is an update of a Cochrane Review first published in 2007.

Electromechanical-assisted training for walking after stroke.

The Cochrane database of systematic reviews
RATIONALE: Walking difficulties are common after a stroke. During rehabilitation, electromechanical and robotic gait-training devices can help improve walking. As the evidence and certainty of the evidence may have changed since our last update in 20...
