Objective: We sought to determine the therapeutic effect of robotic-assisted step training (RAST) on neuromuscular abnormalities associated with spasticity by characterization of their recovery patterns in people with spinal cord injury (SCI). Methods: Twenty-three motor-incomplete SCI subjects received one-hour RAST sessions three times per week for 4weeks, while an SCI control group received no...
Previous attempts to investigate the effects of antispastic medications are limited to clinical studies using that use clinical evaluations to assess. Since these measures are neither objective nor quantitative, the therapeutic effects of such medications on neuromuscular properties have not been fully evaluated. In this study, as a first attempt, we examined the effect of tizanidine, an anti-spastic...
This study was to quantify the effects of Lokomat training on ambulation capacity of patients with incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI), and to examine the potential assistance of anti-spasticity medication on training. Twenty-nine SCI subjects with spastic hypertonia at their ankle participated in a 12-session Lokomat training regimen, with half receiving Lokomat only (LOKO) and half receiving Lokomat...
Our objectives were to explore the effects of robotic-orthosis (LOKOMAT) training on walking impairment recovery in subjects with incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI), and to develop robust predictors of these recovery patterns. Twelve SCI subjects with different degrees of ankle spasticity participated in a 12-session LOKOMAT training regimen. One-hour gait training sessions were provided three times...
To explore the effect of LOKOMAT and LOKOMAT+Tizanidine on the improvement of walking capacity for people with spinal cord injury (SCI), 20 SCI subjects with hypertonia spasticity at their ankle joints participated in a 12-session Lokomat training; among them, 10 subjects received Tizanidine. 1-hour LOKOMAT training was provided 3 times per week for 4-weeks. Subjects were evaluated 4 times for Timed-Up-and-Go,...
