Background The ankle joint complex (AJC) is of fundamental importance for balance,
support, and propulsion. However, it is particularly susceptible to musculoskeletal and …

Purpose: The aim of this review is to analyse the different existing technologies for gait
rehabilitation, focusing mainly in robotic devices. Those robots help the patient to recover a …

Robot-aided physical therapy should encourage subject's voluntary participation to achieve
rapid motor function recovery. In order to enhance subject's cooperation during training …

The patients of paralysis with motion impairment problems require extensive rehabilitation
programs to regain motor functions. The great labor intensity and limited therapeutic effect of …

There is an increasing research interest in exploring use of robotic devices for the physical
therapy of patients suffering from stroke and spinal cord injuries. Rehabilitation of patients …

The aim of this study is to investigate the capability of a 6‐DoF parallel robot to perform
various rehabilitation exercises. The foot trajectories of twenty healthy participants have …

Robots are being increasingly used by physical therapists to carry out rehabilitation
treatments owing to their ability of providing repetitive, controlled, and autonomous training …

Ankle rehabilitation robots are widely used due to nerve injuries and sports injuries leading
to decreased mobility of the ankle joint. However, the motion of most ankle rehabilitation …

In this article, we investigate the characteristics of a collaborative hybrid parallel robot. A
comparison between this robot and other collaborative robots regarding the Cartesian …

In order to make the designed ankle robotic system simpler, practical, and clinically oriented,
we developed a novel ankle rehabilitation robot with a variety of training functions covering …
