Design of gait rehabilitation system
… the conceptual design of an innovative robotic rehabilitation machine whose purpose is to help in the recovery of people with motor function disabilities. The machine is smaller, simpler and cheaper than current solutions on the market yet it delivers same functionality. The conceptual …

A robot for gait rehabilitation
… suffer from neurological impairments that affect gait, and so require rehabilitation to regain ambulatory function. While 82% of patients recover the ability to walk, current methods including physiotherapy and partial body-weight supported treadmill training (PBWSTT) are monotonous and require …

Design of a robot for gait rehabilitation
… and when this capacity is affected by injury, gait therapy is the traditional approach to re-train the nervous system, to re-build muscle strength, to improve balance, and to re-train kinematics in order to reduce the stresses applied to bones and muscles. The importance of this problem is …

DEVELOPMENT OF A ROBOTIC EXOSKELETON SYSTEM FOR GAIT REHABILITATION
… system aiming at providing overground gait rehabilitation training to sub-acute and chronic stroke patients at home and outpatient setting. The exoskeleton robotic system consists of a knee joint and an ankle joint, which is wearable, lightweight and in modular design. The robotic joint …

An ankle robot for a modular gait rehabilitation system
… stroke survivors, can be treated with physical rehabilitation to regain motor control and function. Conventional therapy techniques are labor intensive and non-standardized. This is especially true in gait rehabilitation. The robotic therapy paradigm developed in the Newman Lab for Hu- man …

An Intelligent Pneumatic Muscle Actuated Exoskeleton for Robotic Gait Rehabilitation
Gait disorder is a commonly lasting side-effect for stroke and spinal cord injury survivors. Conventional gait rehabilitation trainings provided by therapists are largely dependent on their experience. Such trainings are often challenging for the therapists due to their physically intensive nature. …

Development and Analysis of Linkage-based Overground Gait Rehabilitation Robots
… motor deficits and ultimately reduced gait performance. In order to regain or improve motor function, stroke patients will undergo rehabilitation. Current rehabilitation techniques are labour-intensive and time-consuming for both the therapist and the patient. Therefore, not all …

Motion coordination and control in the development of a gait rehabilitation system
… to be associated with rapidly deconditioning. Rehabilitation techniques that afford patients the ability to begin reconditioning through walking sooner may ultimately enhance their return to a better quality of life. To assist the functional recovery of such patients, an appropriate afferent …

Rhythmic Haptic Cueing for Gait Rehabilitation of Hemiparetic Stroke and Brain Injury Survivors
This thesis explores the gait rehabilitation of hemiparetic stroke and brain injury survivors by a process of haptic entrainment to rhythmic cues. Entrainment to auditory metronomes is known to improve gait; this thesis presents the first systematic study of entrainment for gait rehabilitation via …

MIT Skywalker : a novel robot for gait rehabilitation of stroke and cerebral palsy patients
… and occupational therapy. Upper extremity rehabilitation robotics is well established and recommended by the American Heart Association, the Veterans Administration, and the Department of Defense; however, lower extremity rehabilitation robots are still in their infancy, so far leading to …

Human interaction & gait strategy with tightly-coupled lower-extremity systems
… tightly-coupled to the user's body) for human gait augmentation has soared recently, with research flourishing in system design, control, and use efficacy. Use cases span many fields, from military (e.g. load carriage assistance) to medicine (e.g. gait rehabilitation or restoration) and …

EMG-Informed Estimation of Human Walking Dynamics for Assistive Robots
The demand for gait rehabilitation is increasing globally, and conventional rehabilitation practices cannot cope with this increase. Robotic-based rehabilitation and assistive robots are alternative solutions for gait rehabilitation, but challenges remain to bring this technology into the clinic. …

Intelligent Treadmill Control and Holographic Rendering for Accessible Rehabilitation
There is a growing need in the medical rehabilitation market due to the increasing elderly population. More than half of the patients are outpatients who require commuting from home to nursing facilities. However, the geographic distribution of these facilities is highly imbalanced, with states …

Gait pattern detection for amputated prosthetic using fuzzy algorithm
Conventional gait rehabilitation treatment does not provide quantitative and graphical information on abnormal gait kinematics, and the match of the intervention strategy to the underlying clinical presentation may be limited by clinical expertise and experience. Amputated patient with prosthetic …

An artificially-intelligent biomeasurement system for total hip arthroplasty patient rehabilitation.
… purpose of the system is to detect and assess gait deviation in the form of reduced post-operative range of movement (ROM) of the replacement hip joint in total hip arthroplasty (THA) patients. In so doing, the following original work is presented: Production of a wearable, …
