A Novel Mechatronic Body Weight Support System

IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering, 2006
A novel mechatronic body weight support (BWS) system has been developed to provide precise body weight unloading for patients with neurological or other impairments during treadmill training. The system is composed of a passive elastic spring element to take over the main unloading force and an active closed-loop controlled electric drive to generate ...

Body-Weight–Supported Treadmill Rehabilitation after Stroke [PDF]

New England Journal of Medicine, 2011
Locomotor training, including the use of body-weight support in treadmill stepping, is a physical therapy intervention used to improve recovery of the ability to walk after stroke. The effectiveness and appropriate timing of this intervention have not been established.We stratified 408 participants who had had a stroke 2 months earlier according to the

Treadmill training and body weight support for walking after stroke [PDF]

Stroke, 2003
Treadmill training, with some body weight supported using a harness, is a method of treating walking after stroke. Systematic review is required to assess the cost, effectiveness and acceptance of this treatment.To assess the effectiveness of treadmill training and/or body weight support in the treatment of walking after stroke.
