Objective The aim of this study was to assess the safety and performance ReWalk in enabling people with paraplegia due spinal cord injury carry out routine ambulatory functions. Design This an open, noncomparative, nonrandomized powered exoskeleton. All 12 subjects have completed active intervention; three remain long-term follow-up. Results After training, all were able independently transfer walk, without human assistance while using ReWalk, for at least 50 100 m continuously, a period 5...
Abstract Background Literature in the application of gait training techniques persons with traumatic brain injury (TBI) is limited. Current require multiple staff and are physically demanding. The use a robotic locomotor may provide improved capacity for this population. Objective To examine impact 3 different modes therapy on velocity spatiotemporal symmetry using an end effector robot (G‐EO); exoskeleton (Lokomat), manual assisted partial‐body weight–supported treadmill (PBWSTT)...
The past two decades have seen the introduction of and a strong growth in availability rehabilitation interventions that are based on use robotics. A major driving factor has been advancement technology, with faster, more powerful computers, new computational approaches, as well increased sophistication motors other electro mechanical components. These advancements technology not only propelling these interventions. During same period, understanding neuroplasticity motor learning also...
(1) To compare the effects of robotic-assisted treadmill training (RATT) and manually assisted (MATT) in participants with traumatic brain injury (TBI) (2) to determine potential impact on symmetry temporal walking parameters, 6-minute walk test, mobility domain Stroke Impact Scale, version 3.0 (SIS).Randomized prospective study.A total 16 TBI a baseline over ground self-selected velocity (SSV) ≥0.2 m/s 0.6 randomly assigned either RATT or MATT group.Gait for 45 minutes, 3 times week 18...
The American Physical Therapy Association's Vision Statement of 2013 asserts that physical therapists optimize movement in order to improve the human experience. In accordance with this vision, strive be recognized as experts analysis. However, there continues no accepted method conduct analysis, nor an agreement key terminology describe observations. As a result, Academy Neurologic organized task force was charged advancing state practice respect these issues, including development proposed...
Background and Purpose: Locomotor adaptation is a form of short-term learning that enables gait modifications reduces movement errors when the environment changes. This critical for community ambulation example, walking on different surfaces. While many individuals with traumatic brain injury (TBI) recover basic ambulation, less known about recovery more complex locomotor skills, like adaptation. The purpose this study was to investigate how TBI affects Methods: Fourteen adults 11...
With funding from a cooperative agreement the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research, we have worked for past 5 years development of rehabilitation treatment taxonomy, system classifying all treatments delivered by disciplines diagnostic groups patients, whatever setting in which these services are delivered. To date, focused developing conceptual framework such specifying scope taxonomy basis treatments. A recent supplement Archives Physical Medicine contained series...
The recovery of independent walking is one the major goals stroke rehabilitation; however, due to current acute inpatient rehabilitation care paradigm, intensity practice provided has been far below that recommended for motor occur. A quality improvement initiative was implemented encourage physical therapist (PT) incorporate various robotic gait training devices as part standard allotted PT sessions improve training.

Open, noncomparative, nonrandomized study performance. Gait motion analysis laboratory. 8 men 2 women thoracic (T3 T11) motor complete injury have been enrolled date; a total 14 subjects will participate; age 18-55 years, mean 37.9 years; time from...
Purpose/Hypothesis: Descriptions of severe critical illness polyneuropathy (CIP) and functional recovery are sparse in the literature. This case illustrates potential for from concomitant TBI CIP, reinforces need intensive, comprehensive services. Number Subjects: Case report a 54-year-old man who sustained due to mechanical explosion close proximity his face. Patient was admitted rehab 8 weeks after injury, with no active movement or muscle contractions trunk, neck, three extremities. He...
