Gravity balancing rehabilitative robot for the human legs
The 26th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2005People with severe muscle weakness from neurological injury, such as hemiparesis from stroke, often have substantial limitations. The focus of rehabilitation after stroke is often on walking function, however, equipment available to facilitate walking function is severely limited.

A gravity balancing leg orthosis for robotic rehabilitation
IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2004. Proceedings. ICRA '04. 2004, 2004A number of methods can be found in the literature to gravity balance a machine. In this paper we use hybrid method to achieve gravity balancing. Hybrid method employs a mechanism to locate center of mass of the robot in conjunction with springs. This method is used to develop a rehabilitation device, which compensates the effect of gravity on a human ...

A personalized balance measurement for home-based rehabilitation
2015 7th International IEEE/EMBS Conference on Neural Engineering (NER), 2015Accurate and real time balance estimation can be used to improve home based rehabilitation systems. We developed a personalized balance measurement, making use of the subject-specific center of mass (CoM) estimate offered by the statically equivalent serial chain (SESC) method and the zero rate of change of angular momentum (ZRAM) concept to evaluate ...

Pregait balance rehabilitation in acute stroke patients
International Journal of Rehabilitation Research, 2013Rehabilitation interventions designed to enhance balance control in individuals with acute stroke are quite limited. The goal was to develop and assess a technique of early pregait balance training involving the use of a combination of force platform visual feedback and the unweighting system in individuals with recent stroke. A total of 28 individuals

iPod for Home Balance Rehabilitation Exercise Monitoring
2012 16th International Symposium on Wearable Computers, 2012When people fall and experience problems of balance, physical therapists (PTs) often prescribe home balance exercises involving repetitive head movements. Currently, patients' compliance and performance of these home exercises are invisible to PTs, who need the data to make informed decisions for treatment adjustments.

Background: Individuals with diabetic peripheral neuropathy frequently experience concomitant impaired proprioception and postural instability. Conventional exercise training has been demonstrated to be effective in improving balance but does not incorporate visual feedback targeting joint perception, which is ...

Rehabilitation Therapy for Patients with Disequilibrium and Balance Disorders
Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, 1992Vestibular rehabilitation is based on the use of adaptive and compensatory mechanisms already existing in the human brain. Research using animals provides a great deal of information on the neural mechanisms responsible for these functions and suggests strategies that should be helpful in rehabilitation of patients with disequilibrium and balance ...

The principles of balance assessment and rehabilitation
Abstract Its the aim of this chapter is to provide clinicians with the knowledge-base necessary to develop a comprehensive assessment protocol and provide a multifactorial, evidence-based balance intervention for older adults, persons with neurological conditions, and those with vestibular disorders.Marousa Pavlou, Susan L.

[Rehabilitation of balance disorders for elderly].
La Revue du praticien, 2011The problems encountered by elderly in balancing themselves, possibly causing instability, perception troubles, and even falls, are the consequence of physiopathological causes. Their comprehension by the way of a thorough clinical survey gives a lead to the rehabilitation based on precise objectives.
