Early onset, intensive and repetitive, gait training may improve outcome after stroke but for patients with severe limitations in walking, rehabilitation is a challenge. The Hybrid Assistive Limb (HAL) machine that captures voluntary actions support motions. Previous studies of HAL indicate beneficial effects on these results need to be confirmed blinded, randomized controlled studies. This study aimed explore incorporating as part an inpatient program stroke. Thirty-two subacute walking...
Introduction: Movement related impairments and limitations in walking are common long-term after stroke. This multi-arm randomized controlled trial explored the impact of training with an electromechanically assisted gait (EAGT) system, i.e., Hybrid Assistive Limb ® (HAL), when integrated conventional rehabilitation focused on mobility. Material Methods: Participants, aged 18–70 years lower extremity paresis but able to walk manual support or supervision 1–10 stroke, were (A) HAL-training a...
Background: In this study an interactive distance solution (called the DISKO tool) was developed to enable home-based motor training after stroke. Objectives: The overall aim explore feasibility and safety of using DISKO-tool, customized for stroke rehabilitation in home setting, different phases Methods: Fifteen patients three stages continuum participated a program DISKO-tool. included 15 sessions with recurrent follow-ups by integrated application video communication physiotherapist....
Electromechanically-assisted gait training has been introduced in stroke rehabilitation as a means to enable with large number of reproducible and symmetrical task repetitions, i.e. steps. However, few studies have evaluated its impact on pattern functions. This study includes persons no independent ambulation function at the start 4-week neurorehabilitation period sub-acute phase after stroke. The primary aim was evaluate whether addition electromechanically-assisted conventional resulted...
BACKGROUND:Few previous studies have assessed self-perceived functioning, disability and recovery after electromechanically-assisted gait training (EAGT). OBJECTIVE:To compare EAGT conventional in the subacute stage a fter stroke, using Stroke Impact Scale (SIS), factors associated with recovery, at 6 months stroke. METHODS:Patients were randomized into two groups performing 4-week intervention period of incorporated Hybrid Assistive Limb (HAL) or physiotherapy only. RESULTS:There no...
