Rehabilitative devices for a top-down approach [PDF]

, 2019
In recent years, neurorehabilitation has moved from a "bottom-up" to a "top down" approach. This change has also involved the technological devices developed for motor and cognitive rehabilitation.

Design and Evaluation of the LOPES Exoskeleton Robot for Interactive Gait Rehabilitation [PDF]

, 2007
This paper introduces a newly developed gait rehabilitation device. The device, called LOPES, combines a freely translatable and 2-D-actuated pelvis segment with a leg exoskeleton containing three actuated rotational joints: two at the hip and one at the

Use of Robotic Devices for Gait Training in Patients Diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis: Current State of the Art

Sensors, 2022
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a neurodegenerative disease that produces alterations in balance and gait in most patients. Robot-assisted gait training devices have been proposed as a complementary approach to conventional rehabilitation treatment as a means

Robot Assisted Gait Training With Active Leg Exoskeleton (ALEX)

IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering, 2008
Gait training of stroke survivors is crucial to facilitate neuromuscular plasticity needed for improvements in functional walking ability. Robot assisted gait training (RAGT) was developed for stroke survivors using active leg exoskeleton (ALEX) and a force-field controller, which uses assist-as-needed paradigm for rehabilitation.

Immediate after-effects of robot-assisted gait with pelvic support or pelvic constraint on overground walking in healthy subjects

Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, 2019
Background Recovery of walking is a primary rehabilitation goal of most stroke survivors. Control of pelvic movements is one of the essential determinants of gait, yet surprisingly, conventional robot-assisted gait trainers constrain pelvic movements ...

Towards personalized robot-assisted gait training [PDF]

, 2020
Robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) is a promising tool to improve walking function after stroke and spinal cord injury (SCI), especially when combined with conventional physical therapy. The way how the robot is controlled can have a large influence on active participation of the user and the effectiveness of the training.
