Review of Robot-Assisted Gait Rehabilitation after Stroke
Regarding classical rehabilitation techniques, there is insufficient evidence to state that a particular approach is more effective in promoting gait recovery than robotic devices. More constraining devices, such as Lokomat, could be helpful at the beginning of rehabilitation and with more severely affected patients, whereas end-effector devices and then treadmill gait training with body weight...
متن کاملNeuroplasticity and neuromotor synergies in context of rehabilitation after stroke: a systematic review
Background: Alterations of neuroplasticity and cortical excitability are important pathophysiological factors in stroke. Modulation of the neuroplasticity has been proposed as an underlying mechanism of recovery in different neurological disorders. But it is not still clear how the CNS faces the complexity of muscle control. Neuroplastic processes may be used for the functional improvement of s...
متن کاملThe Haptic Bracelets: Gait rehabilitation after Stroke
Restoring mobility and rehabilitation of gait are high priorities for rehabilitation of neurological conditions. Cueing using metronomic rhythmic sensory stimulation has been shown to improve gait, but most versions of this approach have used auditory and visual cues. In contrast, we propose the development of a prototype wearable system for rhythmic cueing based on haptics. The main aim of thi...
متن کاملConceptual Design of a Gait Rehabilitation Robot
Gait rehabilitation using body weight support on a treadmill is a recommended rehabilitation technique for neurological injuries, such as spinal cord injury. In this paper, a new robotic orthosis is presented for treadmill training. In the presented design the criteria such as low inertia of robot components, backdrivability, high safety and degrees of freedom based on human walking are conside...
متن کاملProgress Review Rehabilitation for Stroke: A Review
Survivors of stroke are often left with severe mental and physical disabilities, which create a major social and economic burden. Many investigators have attempted to assess the role of rehabilitation in reducing such disability. Few controlled studies provide accurate assessment and documentation of benefit. Because of the presence of multiple variables and inadequate measures of outcome, it i...
