Effects of robot-assisted walking training on balance, motor function, and ADL depending on severity levels in stroke patients.

Technology and health care : official journal of the European Society for Engineering and Medicine
BACKGROUND: Despite the explosive increase in interest regarding Robot-Assisted Walking Training (RAWT) for stroke patients, very few studies have divided groups according to the severity levels of patients and conducted studies on the effects of RAW...

Improving Walking Assistance Efficiency in Real-World Scenarios with Soft Exosuits Using Locomotion Mode Detection.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
The use of portable and lightweight wearable assistive devices can improve wearer locomotion efficiency by reducing the metabolic cost of walking. To achieve this goal, assistive technologies must adapt to different locomotion modes to optimize walki...

1D-Convolutional Neural Networks can Quantify Therapy Content of Children and Adolescents Walking in a Robot-Assisted Gait Trainer.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Therapy content, consisting of device parameter settings and therapy instructions, is crucial for an effective robot-assisted gait therapy program. Settings and instructions depend on the therapy goals of the individual patient. While device paramete...

User-Centered Configuration of Soft Hip Flexion Exosuit Designs to Assist Individuals with Multiple Sclerosis Through Simulated Human-in-the-Loop Optimization.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Soft exosuits hold promise as assistive technology for people with gait deficits owing to a variety of causes. A key aspect of providing useful assistance is to keep the human user at the center of all considerations made in the design, configuration...

Individualized Three-Dimensional Gait Pattern Generator for Lower Limbs Rehabilitation Robots.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
In the field of robotic gait rehabilitation, controlling robotic devices to follow specific human-like trajectories is often required. In recent years, various gait generator models have been proposed, providing customized gait patterns adjustable to...

Mechanosensory Control of Locomotion in Animals and Robots: Moving Forward.

Integrative and comparative biology
While animals swim, crawl, walk, and fly with apparent ease, building robots capable of robust locomotion remains a significant challenge. In this review, we draw attention to mechanosensation-the sensing of mechanical forces generated within and out...

The long-acting walking control of a cockroach bio-bot for vision-aided pipeline navigation.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Many small bionic crawling robots have been invented for search and rescue missions in narrow spaces. However, their locomotion capability is far from that of insects of the same size. Transforming a cockroach into a bio-bot has been a hot topic in t...

Ambulatory Behavior Assessment Using Deep Learning.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
This work leverages a custom implementation of a deep neural network-based object detection algorithm to detect people and a set of assistive devices relevant to clinical environments. The object detections form the basis for the quantification of di...
