Exoskeleton assistance symmetry matters: unilateral assistance reduces metabo...
Background Many gait impairments are characterized by asymmetry and result in reduced mobility. Exoskeletons could be useful for restoring gait symmetry by assisting only one... -
Overground walking with a robotic exoskeleton elicits trunk muscle activity i...
Background: The trunk muscles are critical for postural control. Recent neurophysiological studies have revealed sparing of trunk muscle function in individuals... -
Markerless motion capture systems as training device in neurological rehabili...
Background Client-centred task-oriented training is important in neurological rehabilitation but is time consuming and costly in clinical practice. The use of technology,... -
Assessment of upper limb use in children with typical development and neurode...
Understanding development of bimanual upper limb (UL) activities in both typical and atypical conditions in children is important for: i) tailoring rehabilitation programs, ii)... -
A case study
Background Robotic arm supports aim at improving the quality of life for adults with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) by augmenting their residual functional abilities. A... -
Muscle force distribution of the lower limbs during walking in diabetic indiv...
Background Muscle force estimation could advance the comprehension of the neuromuscular strategies that diabetic patients adopt to preserve walking ability, which guarantees... -
Trends in robot-assisted and virtual reality-assisted neuromuscular therapy: ...
Background Multiplayer games have emerged as a promising approach to increase the motivation of patients involved in rehabilitation therapy. In this systematic review, we... -
Evaluation of EMG pattern recognition for upper limb prosthesis control: a ca...
Background Although electromyogram (EMG) pattern recognition (PR) for multifunctional upper limb prosthesis control has been reported for decades, the clinical benefits have... -
Assessment of the underlying systems involved in standing balance: the additi...
Background Closed loop system identification (CLSIT) is a method to disentangle the contribution of underlying systems in standing balance. We investigated whether taking into... -
Human arm joints reconstruction algorithm in rehabilitation therapies assiste...
Background End-effector robots are commonly used in robot-assisted neuro-rehabilitation therapies for upper limbs where the patient’s hand can be easily attached to a splint....
