The center of mass (CoM) and the pressure (CoP) are two variables that crucial in assessing energy expenditure stability human walking. purpose this study is to estimate CoM displacement continuously using an ambulatory measurement system. system consists instrumented shoes with 6 DOF force/moment sensors beneath heels fore-feet. Moreover, inertial rigidly attached for estimation position orientation. achieved by fusing low-pass filtered CoP data high-pass double integrated acceleration,...
Assistive and robotic training devices are increasingly used for rehabilitation of the hemiparetic arm after stroke, although applications wrist hand trailing behind. Furthermore, applying a device in domestic settings may enable an increased dose functional training. The objective this study was to assess feasibility potential clinical changes associated with technology-supported system at home patients chronic stroke. A dynamic orthosis combined remotely monitored user interface...
SUMMARY Changes in world-wide population trends have provided new demands for technologies areas such as care and rehabilitation. Recent developments the field of robotics neurorehabilitation shown a range evidence regarding usefulness these tool to augment traditional physiotherapy. Part appeal is possibility place rehabilitative one's home, providing chance more frequent accessible empowering individuals be charge their therapy. Objective: this manuscript introduces Supervised Care...
There is increasing interest in the use of robotic gait-training devices walking rehabilitation incomplete spinal cord injured (iSCI) individuals. These provide promising opportunities to increase intensity training and reduce physical demands on therapists. Despite these potential benefits, have not yet demonstrated clear advantages over conventional approaches, terms functional outcomes. This might be due reduced active participation step-to-step variability most strategies, when compared...
Background. Little is known about whether changes in coordination patterns of muscle activation after stroke are related to functional recovery walking. Objective . The present study investigated the longitudinal relationship between neuromuscular paretic muscles hemiplegic gait and improvement walking ability stroke. Methods. Thirteen patients diagnosed with a first unilateral ischemic had their measured by Rivermead Mobility Index, Functional Ambulation Categories, Barthel Trunk Control...
<para xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> "Assist as needed" control algorithms promote activity of patients during robotic gait training. Implementing these requires a free walking mode device, unassisted motions should not be hindered. The goal this study was to assess the normality in LOPES trainer, an 8 degrees-of-freedom lightweight impedance controlled exoskeleton. Kinematics, parameters and muscle device were compared with those...
Background. Use of rehabilitation technology, such as (electro)mechanical devices or robotics, could partly relieve the increasing strain on stroke caused by an prevalence stroke. Arm support (AS) training showed improvement unsupported arm function in chronic Objective. To examine effect weight-supported combined with computerized exercises and capacity, compared dose-matched conventional reach subacute patients. Methods. In a single-blind, multicenter, randomized controlled trial, 70...
To compare user acceptance and arm hand function changes after technology-supported training at home with conventional exercises in chronic stroke. Secondly, to investigate the relation between duration clinical changes.A randomised controlled trial.Training home, evaluation research institute.Twenty stroke patients severely mildly impaired function.Participants were randomly assigned six weeks (30 minutes per day, days a week) of self-administered home-based using either passive dynamic...
Background New developments, based on the concept of wearable soft-robotic devices, make it possible to support impaired hand function during performance daily activities and intensive task-specific training. The ironHand glove is such a system that supports grip strength training exercises at home. Design This pilot randomized controlled clinical study explored effect prolonged use assistive home, in comparison its as trainings tool functional hand. Methods In total, 91 older adults with...
Abstract Background Exoskeletons are working in parallel to the human body and can support movement by exerting forces through cuffs or straps. They prone misalignments caused simplified joint mechanics incorrect fit positioning. Those a common safety concern as they cause undesired interaction forces. However, exact mechanisms effects of on load not yet known. The aim this study was therefore investigate influence different directions magnitudes exoskeleton misalignment internal knee...
Peak tibial acceleration (PTA) is a widely used indicator of bone loading. Indirect loading measures are interest to reduce the risk stress fractures during running. However, compressive forces caused by both internal muscle and external ground reaction forces. PTA might reflect from outside body, but likely not force muscles on bone. Hence, strength relationship between maximum compression in rearfoot-striking runners was investigated. Twelve ran an instrumented treadmill while captured...
Commercially available virtual reality systems can possibly support rehabilitation objectives in training upper arm function children with Cerebral Palsy (CP). The present study explored the effect of Nintendo Wii™ on extremity CP.During six weeks, all received twice a week Wii™, their most affected arm. Melbourne Assessment Upper Limb Function and ABILHAND-Kids were assessed pre- post- training. In addition, user satisfaction both health professionals was after Enjoyment gaming scored...
Background: Upper limb impairments, in stroke patients are usually measured clinical setting using standard assessment. In addition, kinematic analysis opto-electronic systems has been used the laboratory to map arm recovery. Such measurements cannot capture actual function of upper extremity daily life. The aim this study is longitudinally explore complementarity post-stroke recovery by assessments and life recorded kinematics. Methods: was designed as an observational, single group...
For optimal guidance of walking rehabilitation therapy stroke patients in an in-home setting, a small and easy to use wearable system is needed. In this paper we present new shoe-integrated that quantifies balance during activities daily living not restricted lab environment. Quantitative parameters were related clinically assessed level order assess the additional information they provide.
Stroke survivors are commonly left with disabilities that impair activities of daily living. The main objective their rehabilitation program is to maximize the functional performance at home. However, actual patients in home environment unknown. Therefore, evaluation life stroke physical interaction essential for optimal guidance therapy. Monitoring movements could be very challenging, as it may result large amounts data, without any context. suitable metrics necessary quantify relevant...
Remote monitoring of gait performance offers possibilities for objective evaluation and tackling impairment in motor ability, gait, balance populations, such as elderly, stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's. This requires a wearable unobtrusive system capable estimating ambulatory measures, the extrapolated center mass (XCoM) dynamic margin stability. These estimations require knowledge 3-D forces moments (F&M) accurate foot positions. Though an existing (AGBS) consisting F&M sensors...
