Alterations in muscle activation patterns during robotic-assisted walking.
OBJECTIVE The goal of this study was to compare the muscle activation patterns in various major leg muscles during treadmill ambulation with those exhibited during robotic-assisted walking. BACKGROUND Robotic devices are now being integrated into neurorehabilitation programs with promising results. The influence of these devices on altering naturally occurring muscle activation patterns utili...
متن کاملPilot comparative study of unilateral and bilateral robot-assisted training on upper-extremity performance in patients with stroke.
We compared a unilateral robot-assisted training protocol (URTP) and a bilateral robot-assisted training protocol (BRTP) to study their differential effects. We recruited 21 patients with stroke who received 90-105 min of therapy 5 days/wk for 4 wk. Participants in the URTP and BRTP groups practiced forearm pronation and supination and wrist flexion and extension in a simultaneous manner with t...
متن کاملPelvic floor muscle activation during singing: a pilot study
The objectives of this study were to examine the effects of voluntary sub-maximal activation of the pelvic floor muscles (PFMs) during singing on PFM strength and compliance with the exercise regime. The participants in this pilot interventional study were a convenience sample of 11 asymptomatic (eight at follow-up) and seven symptomatic (five at follow-up) individuals. The primary outcome meas...
متن کاملMotor and psychosocial impact of robot-assisted gait training in a real-world rehabilitation setting: A pilot study
In the last decade robotic devices have been applied in rehabilitation to overcome walking disability in neurologic diseases with promising results. Robot assisted gait training (RAGT) using the Lokomat seems not only to improve gait parameters but also the perception of well-being. Data on the psychosocial patient-robot impact are limited, in particular in the real-world of RAGT, in the rehabi...
متن کاملPatterns of contraction of the frontalis muscle: a pilot study
Introduction: Diverse anatomical characteristics and varied kinetic spectra determine the specific contraction patterns of individuals' frontal facial musculature. Objective: To identify and classify the frontal facial musculature contraction patterns in patients who sought care for treating frontal facial wrinkles. Methods: Retrospective analysis of pictures taken from 83 patients.The muscular...
