Geriatric rehabilitation of lower limb amputees: a multicenter study
Disability and Rehabilitation, 2011The aim of this study was to determine factors independently associated with successful rehabilitation of patients with lower limb amputation in skilled nursing facilities (SNFs).All patients admitted to one of the 11 participating SNFs were eligible. Multidisciplinary teams collected the data.

Trajectory planning of a robot for lower limb rehabilitation
2011 Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2011We introduce a method for lower-limb physical rehabilitation by means of a robot that applies preliminary defined forces to a patient's foot while moving it on a preliminary defined trajectory. We developed a special musculoskeletal model that takes into consideration the generated muscle forces of 27 musculotendon actuators and joint stiffness of the ...

Intelligent control for lower limb rehabilitation system
2018 14th IEEE/ASME International Conference on Mechatronic and Embedded Systems and Applications (MESA), 2018This paper proposes the design and control of passive and active motion of lower limb rehabilitation system. The dynamic model of the rehabilitation machine is firstly derived for further controller design. Then, an intelligent sliding-mode control (ISMC) system which involved recurrent Hermite neural network (RHNN) estimator to estimate the unknown ...

Challenges in Severe Lower Limb Injury Rehabilitation
Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, 2012Restoration of lower limb function following severe injury is a challenge. Rehabilitation must take into account psychosocial factors and patient self-efficacy as well as functional goals. The Return to Run clinical pathway, an integrated orthotic and rehabilitation initiative, is an example of goal-oriented rehabilitation with periodic assessment ...

Development of a exoskeleton robot for lower limb rehabilitation
2016 International Conference on Advanced Robotics and Mechatronics (ICARM), 2016Rehabilitative robot is a new technology that has been developed rapidly in recent years, especially for the exercise therapy. In this paper, a new design concept of lower limb rehabilitation robot has been proposed. This model can perform four degrees of freedom that is rotation in vertical planes.

Rehabilitation of a Lower Limb Amputee
Journal of Physical Medicine Rehabilitation Studies & ReportsThe rehabilitation of the amputee patient must be early and therfore begins immediately after the operation. In the pre-prosthetic phase, the first objective is to allow good healing and a reduction of the edema of the stump with trophic and circulatory massages ; in a second step it is a question of obtaining a toned stump by exercises of reinforcemnt
