Abstract Background Few portable exoskeletons following the assist-as-needed concept have been developed for patients with neurological disorders. Thus, main objectives of this proof-of-concept study were 1) to explore safety and feasibility an exoskeleton gait rehabilitation in stroke multiple sclerosis patients, 2) test different algorithms assistance measure resulting changes 3) evaluate user’s perception device. Methods A cross-sectional was conducted. Five recruited (4 1 sclerosis)....
Abstract Background Children with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) present muscle weakness and that results in a number of complications affecting their mobility, hindering independence the development activities daily living. Walking has well-recognized physiological functional benefits. The ATLAS 2030 exoskeleton is paediatric device allows gait rehabilitation children either neurological or neuromuscular pathologies disorders. purpose to assess effects range motion (ROM) maximal isometric...
Stroke is one of the leading causes disability in adults worldwide, and main objectives rehabilitation these patients to recover gait. New technologies have emerged cope with this issue, complementing conventional therapy use devices such as exoskeletons. The Marsi Active Knee (MAK) exoskeleton (Marsi Bionics SL, Madrid, Spain) has already been tested, but an updated version was improved allow perform functional exercises. aim study assess safety usability MAK stroke population well its...
Background: Cerebral Palsy (CP), the most common motor disability in childhood, affects individual's skills, movement and posture. This results limited activity a low social participation. The ATLAS2030 exoskeleton is pediatric device that enables gait rehabilitation for children with neurological or neuromuscular pathologies pathology. Purpose: To study changes relation to range of motion (ROM), strength spasticity CP after using exoskeleton. Methods Participants: Three (mean age 8.0 ±...
Current exoskeleton designs have opened new ways to therapists and patients for muscle maintenance strength recovery therapy approaches. However, some issues remain be solved. Lack of adaptation, versatility, or overweight are the main factors that should improved. In this article, we present a novel design functional modular composed four independent active joints using decentralized electronic architecture, being first wearable apply technology. This approach avoids use processor, scheme...
Bearing overheating and anomalous accelerations are two principal failure modes for this safety component. The supervision of bearing’s behaviour is essential to ensure a safe reliable operation. A component’s may cause speed limitation or even non-available train operating, so predictive maintenance bearings other critical components mandatory the manufacturers, operators maintainers in railway sector. temperature, exterior variables measured every second real time. From all data collected...
This study explored the effects of a modular overground exoskeleton on plantar pressure distribution in healthy individuals and with Acquired Brain Injury (ABI). The research involved 21 participants, including ABI patients controls, who used unique adaptable configurations. primary objective was to assess how these configurations, along factors such as muscle strength spasticity, influenced distribution. results revealed significant differences pressures among strongly by exoskeleton’s...
Abstract Background Effective rehabilitation following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is crucial for enhancing both range of motion (ROM) and functional outcomes. While robotics has demonstrated its potential in various medical contexts, the evidence on application TKA still scarce. The marsi active (MAK), a robotic device that already proven to be safe beneficial people with neurological disease, been tested facilitate patients. Objective This study aims evaluate safety, patient...
Purpose: the purpose of this study was to evaluate safety and usability ATLAS 2030 in children with Cerebral Palsy (CP) Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA). Materials Methods: sample consisted six children, three CP SMA, who received eight sessions robot-assisted gait therapy. Safety measured by presence adverse events. Usability spatiotemporal parameters, Six-Minute Walking Test (6MWT), time needed for donning doffing, as well satisfaction questionnaires administered therapists patients. Results:...
In recent years, the prevalence of acquired brain injury (ABI) has been on rise, leading to impaired gait functionality in affected individuals. Traditional exoskeletons are typically rigid and bilateral lack adaptability. To address this, STELO, a pioneering modular gait-assistive device, was developed. This device can be externally configured with joint modules cater diverse impairments each patient, aiming enhance adaptability efficiency. study aims assess safety usability initial...
One of the main challenges current exoskeletons is adaptation to patients' walking capabilities. The proposal a new device made from modular joints actuators offers ways adaptability. However, it also requires changes in control techniques. In this contribution, we introduce use central pattern generator (CPG) based on adaptive Hopf oscillators order achieve decentralised architecture for exoskeleton. Hebbian learning algorithm used train Adaptive CPG, using data collected healthy subject's...
