Journal ArticleDOI
Patient-cooperative strategies for robot-aided treadmill training: first experimental results
TL;DR: This paper deals with the application of "patient-cooperative" techniques to robot-aided gait rehabilitation of neurological disorders by hypothesized that such cooperative robotic approaches can improve the therapeutic outcome compared to classical rehabilitation strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Locomotor capacity of spinal cord in paraplegic patients.
TL;DR: In this study intrathecal application of clonidine drastically reduced, while epinephrine enhanced locomotor muscle electromyographic activity caused the induction of complex bilateral leg muscle activation combined with coordinated stepping movements in patients with complete paraplegia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Locomotor activity in spinal man: significance of afferent input from joint and load receptors.
TL;DR: It can be concluded that afferent input from hip joints, in combination with that from load receptors, plays a crucial role in the generation of locomotor activity in the isolated human spinal cord.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effectiveness of automated locomotor training in patients with chronic incomplete spinal cord injury: A multicenter trial

TL;DR: Intensive locomotor training on a treadmill with the assistance of a DGO resulted in significant improvements in the subjects' gait velocity, endurance, and performance of functional tasks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Locomotor activity in spinal man
TL;DR: In patients with complete paraplegia, coordinated stepping movements were induced by weight support and standing on a moving treadmill and the pattern of leg muscle electromyographic activity was similar to that seen in healthy subjects although EMG amplitude was smaller.
