Reinforced Feedback in Virtual Environment for Plantar Flexor Poststroke Spasticity Reduction and Gait Function Improvement [PDF]

, 2019
Background. Ankle spasticity is a frequent phenomenon that limits functionality in poststroke patients. Objectives. Our aim was to determine if there was decreased spasticity in the ankle plantar flex (PF) muscles in the plegic lower extremity (LE) and ...

The effectiveness of robotic-assisted gait training for paediatric gait disorders: systematic review [PDF]

Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, 2017
Robotic-assisted gait training (RAGT) affords an opportunity to increase walking practice with mechanical assistance from robotic devices, rather than therapists, where the child may not be able to generate a sufficient or correct motion with enough repetitions to promote improvement.

Reduction of freezing of gait in Parkinson's disease by repetitive robot-assisted treadmill training: a pilot study

Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, 2010
Background Parkinson's disease is a chronic, neurodegenerative disease characterized by gait abnormalities. Freezing of gait (FOG), an episodic inability to generate effective stepping, is reported as one of the most disabling and distressing ...

Abnormal synergistic gait mitigation in acute stroke using an innovative ankle–knee–hip interlimb humanoid robot: a preliminary randomized controlled trial

Scientific Reports, 2021
Abnormal spasticity and associated synergistic patterns are the most common neuromuscular impairments affecting ankle–knee–hip interlimb coordinated gait kinematics and kinetics in patients with hemiparetic stroke.

Can Lokomat therapy with children and adolescents be improved? An adaptive clinical pilot trial comparing Guidance force, Path control, and FreeD [PDF]

, 2017
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted gait therapy is increasingly being used in pediatric neurorehabilitation to complement conventional physical therapy. The robotic device applied in this study, the Lokomat (Hocoma AG, Switzerland), uses a position control ...

Robotic and clinical evaluation of upper limb motor performance in patients with Friedreich's Ataxia: an observational study [PDF]

, 2015
Background: Friedreich’s ataxia (FRDA) is the most common hereditary autosomal recessive form of ataxia. In this disease there is early manifestation of gait ataxia, and dysmetria of the arms and legs which causes impairment in daily activities that ...

Feasibility of Overground Gait Training Using a Joint-Torque-Assisting Wearable Exoskeletal Robot in Children with Static Brain Injury

Sensors, 2022
Pediatric gait disorders are often chronic and accompanied by various complications, which challenge rehabilitation efforts. Here, we retrospectively analyzed the feasibility of overground robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) using a joint-torque ...

Advanced technology for gait rehabilitation: An overview [PDF]

, 2018
Most gait training systems are designed for acute and subacute neurological inpatients. Many systems are used for relearning gait movements (nonfunctional training) or gait cycle training (functional gait training).

Voluntary gait speed adaptation for robot-assisted treadmill training [PDF]

2009 IEEE International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics, 2009
Robot-assisted gait training currently lacks the possibility of the robot to automatically adapt to the patient's needs and demands (so called “bio-cooperative control strategies”). It is desired to give the patient voluntary control over training parameters such as gait speed or joint trajectories.
