“Assist as needed” control algorithms promote activity of patients during robotic gait training.
Implementing these requires a free walking mode of a device, as unassisted motions should …

Abstract Background The Lokomat is a robotic exoskeleton that can be used to train gait
function in hemiparetic stroke. To purposefully employ the Lokomat for training, it is …

We report the design of a planar cable-driven parallel robot with four cables. The design can
generate a wrench-closure trajectory of the lower limb, shank, with applications in gait …

Cerebral palsy is a neurologic disorder caused by lesions on an immature brain, often
resulting in spasticity and gait abnormality. This study aimed to compare the muscle …

The aim of gait rehabilitation is a restoration of an independent gait and improvement of
daily life walking functions. Therefore the specific patterns, that are to be relearned, must be …

This paper introduces a newly developed robotic gait training system for lower-limb
rehabilitation of stroke patients. The system (Cyborg-Trainer L; Cyborg-Lab Co., Korea) …

Therapists often emphasize selection and design of proper training programs for individual
patients in different situations and rehabilitation stages. Thus, in order to cater different …

The paper presents a prototype of a rehabilitation robot for lower extremities. It is created on
the basis of cylindrical kinematic model, equipped with two rigid arms, special handles and …

This paper describes a novel type of a walking rehabilitation robot that applies robot
technologies to crutches used by patients with walking difficulties in the lower body. The …

With the evolution of robotic systems to facilitate overground walking rehabilitation, it is
important to understand the effect of robotic-aided body-weight supported loading on lower …
