Design and Characterization of a Novel Compact Hand Exoskeleton Robot for Telerehabilitation and Muscle Spasticity Assessment

IEEE/ASME transactions on mechatronics
Rehabilitation robots can aid patients in performing hand exercises in their own home. However, existing rehabilitation equipment is bulky and difficult to wear and carry, and therapists are unable to remotely assess a patient's finger muscle spasticity.

Effectiveness of focal muscle vibration on hemiplegic upper extremity spasticity in individuals with stroke: A systematic review

NeuroRehabilitation (Reading, MA), 2019
BACKGROUND: The upper extremity spasticity following stroke limits individuals’ activities of daily living. Focal muscle vibration (FMV) is a device producing vibration signals affecting the central nervous system.

Effectiveness of Robot-Assisted Upper Limb Training on Spasticity, Function and Muscle Activity in Chronic Stroke Patients Treated With Botulinum Toxin: A Randomized Single-Blinded Controlled Trial

Frontiers in Neurology, 2019
Background: The combined use of Robot-assisted UL training and Botulinum toxin (BoNT) appear to be a promising therapeutic synergism to improve UL function in chronic stroke patients. Objective: To evaluate the effects of Robot-assisted UL training on UL

Scoliosis Surgery in a Patient With Advanced Friedreich's Ataxia—It Is Not Too Late

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Friedreich's ataxia is a multisystem disorder with scoliosis being the most common non‐neurological manifestation. While scoliosis surgery is typically performed in adolescent, ambulatory patients, few data exist on surgical outcomes in patients with advanced disease.

A spasticity model based on feedback from muscle force explains muscle activity during passive stretches and gait in children with cerebral palsy

PLoS ONE, 2018
Muscle spasticity is characterized by exaggerated stretch reflexes and affects about 85% of the children with cerebral palsy. However, the mechanisms underlying spasticity and its influence on gait are not well understood.

Autosomal Recessive Spastic Ataxia of Charlevoix‐Saguenay in Two Half‐Siblings

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Autosomal recessive spastic ataxia of Charlevoix‐Saguenay (ARSACS) is caused by biallelic pathogenic variants in the SACS gene. We report the clinical, radiologic and neurophysiologic features of a pair of half‐siblings who presented with progressive cerebellar ataxia, peripheral neuropathy and upper motor neuron signs.
