Overground walking training with the i-Walker, a robotic servo-assistive device, enhances balance in patients with subacute stroke: a randomized controlled trial.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Patients affected by mild stroke benefit more from physiological overground walking training than walking-like training performed in place using specific devices. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effects of overground robotic walk...

Biomechanical effects of body weight support with a novel robotic walker for over-ground gait rehabilitation.

Medical & biological engineering & computing
Body weight support (BWS) promotes better functional outcomes for neurologically challenged patients. Despite the established effectiveness of BWS in gait rehabilitation, the findings on biomechanical effects of BWS training still remain contradictor...

Developing Artificial Neural Network Models to Predict Functioning One Year After Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury.

Archives of physical medicine and rehabilitation
OBJECTIVE: To develop mathematical models for predicting level of independence with specific functional outcomes 1 year after discharge from inpatient rehabilitation for spinal cord injury.

A biologically-inspired multi-joint soft exosuit that can reduce the energy cost of loaded walking.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Carrying load alters normal walking, imposes additional stress to the musculoskeletal system, and results in an increase in energy consumption and a consequent earlier onset of fatigue. This phenomenon is largely due to increased work req...

Neural Data-Driven Musculoskeletal Modeling for Personalized Neurorehabilitation Technologies.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVES: The development of neurorehabilitation technologies requires the profound understanding of the mechanisms underlying an individual's motor ability and impairment. A major factor limiting this understanding is the difficulty of bridging be...

On the effect of walking surface stiffness on inter-limb coordination in human walking: toward bilaterally informed robotic gait rehabilitation.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Robotic devices have been utilized in gait rehabilitation but have only produced moderate results when compared to conventional physiotherapy. Because bipedal walking requires neural coupling and dynamic interactions between the legs, a f...

Predicting ground contact events for a continuum of gait types: An application of targeted machine learning using principal component analysis.

Gait & posture
An ongoing challenge in the application of gait analysis to clinical settings is the standardized detection of temporal events, with unobtrusive and cost-effective equipment, for a wide range of gait types. The purpose of the current study was to inv...

The voluntary driven exoskeleton Hybrid Assistive Limb (HAL) for postoperative training of thoracic ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament: a case report.

The journal of spinal cord medicine
CONTEXT: The hybrid assistive limb (HAL) is a wearable robot suit that assists in voluntary control of knee and hip joint motion by detecting bioelectric signals on the surface of the skin with high sensitivity. HAL has been reported to be effective ...

Biomechanical and Physiological Evaluation of Multi-Joint Assistance With Soft Exosuits.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
To understand the effects of soft exosuits on human loaded walking, we developed a reconfigurable multi-joint actuation platform that can provide synchronized forces to the ankle and hip joints. Two different assistive strategies were evaluated on ei...

A novel behavioral model of the pasture-based dairy cow from GPS data using data mining and machine learning techniques.

Journal of dairy science
A better understanding of the behavior of individual grazing dairy cattle will assist in improving productivity and welfare. Global positioning systems (GPS) applied to cows could provide a means of monitoring grazing herds while overcoming the subst...
