Feasibility of novel gait training with robotic assistance : dynamic entrainment to mechanical perturbation to the ankle
… the design criteria is proposed; dynamically entraining human gait with periodic ankle torque from a robot. Experiments with normal subjects and neurologically impaired subjects support the feasibility of the proposed rehabilitation strategy. The gait period of subjects entrain to the periodic …

Development of Automated Gait Assessment and Intelligent Virtual Reality Based Gait Training Systems for Post-Stroke Rehabilitation
… with approximately 80% of survivors experiencing gait impairments that severely compromise mobility, independence, and quality of life. This thesis aims to integrate advanced technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI) and virtual reality (VR) into post-stroke gait assessment and …

Take two notes and call me in the morning : the science of music therapy
… are rhythmic-auditory stimulation (RAS) gait training and melodic intonation therapy (MIT). RAS gait training is typically used to treat patients with Parkinson's disease or some kind of mobility loss caused by brain damage. Parkinson's disease attacks a person's motor system, and RAS …

Design of gait rehabilitation system
… functionality. The conceptual development of the gait rehabilitation system also features a human model with average anthropometric dimensions that allows better visualization and understanding of the actual machine operation. The human model is kinematically coupled to the machine and the whole …

Rhythmic cueing effects on gait parameters of children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy: an immediate entrainment study
… cerebral palsy can synchronize (entrain) their gait patterns with an external auditory rhythmic stimulus, and whether this rhythmic stimulus would encourage improvement in stride symmetry and knee extension at foot contact during the gait cycle. Five participants completed an immediate …

Motion coordination and control in the development of a gait rehabilitation system
… will help in the therapy of the patient. Manual training is labor intensive, costly, and ergonomically unfavorable and tiring to the trainer, which will make training sessions short. Task-specific exercises delivered by robotic devices have registered success in reducing impairment and increasing …

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. …

Assessing Limb Symmetry using the Clinically Accessible loadsol®
Decreased gait symmetry has been correlated with an increased fall risk, abnormal joint loading and decreased functional outcomes. Therefore, symmetry is focused on in the rehabilitation of many patient populations. Currently, load based symmetry is collected using expensive and immobile devices …
