Robotic gait training is gaining ground in rehabilitation. Room for improvement lies in reducing donning and doffing time, making training more task specific and facilitating active balance control, and by allowing movement in more degrees of freedom. Our goal was to design and evaluate a robot that incorporates these improvements. LOPES II uses an end-effector approach with parallel actuation and...
We aimed to determine whether an anti-spasticity medication (tizanidine) can facilitate the effects of robotic locomotor treadmill training (LTT) to improve gait function. Individuals with incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI) were recruited and carried out a 4-week intervention of either locomotor treadmill training (LTT) alone (n = 26) or LTT combined with tizanidine (TizLTT) (n = 22). Gait function...
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of robot-assisted locomotor training on muscular recruitment in patients with gait disorders. Three incomplete spinal cord injured patients and four patients with multiple sclerosis were recruited and underwent a 7-weeks gait robotic training. For comparison purposes five healthy subjects were recruited.
The aim of this study was to understand and measure the lower limbs muscular activation patterns both in healthy and spinal cord injured (SCI) subjects during robot-assisted locomotor exercise. Electromyographic (EMG) activity of four leg's muscles (rectus and biceps femoris, tibialis anterioris and gastrocnemius) was recorded and analyzed at two different percentages of body weight support, three...
