Journal ArticleDOI
Robotic assistance that encourages the generation of stepping rather than fully assisting movements is best for learning to step in spinally contused rats.
TL;DR: The findings suggested that flexible robotic assistance facilitated learning to step after a SCI, and support the rationale for the use of AAN robotic training algorithms in human robotic-assisted BWSTT.

Motorized functional electrical stimulation step and stand trainer
Andrew Barriskill,Scott Simcox +1 more
TL;DR: A functional electrical stimulation step and stand system comprising two footplates (left and right) connected to a primary drive motor that causes the footplates to move in a reciprocal motion is described in this article.
Journal ArticleDOI
Estimation and volitional feedback control of active work rate during robot-assisted gait
TL;DR: In this paper, a method of estimating and controlling the rate of active work done during supported stepping is proposed and experimentally validated through ambulation of three subjects with a spinal cord injury.
Journal ArticleDOI
Factors that Influence Quiet Standing Balance of Patients with Incomplete Cervical Spinal Cord Injuries.
TL;DR: The quiet standing balance of the patients was influenced by somatosensory limitations or insufficient visual compensation and should be improved through proper proprioceptive and lower extremity strength training for better postural and pedal control, and to make efforts to minimize environmental hazards.

Emerging Perspectives in Stroke Rehabilitation
Guillermo Asin Prieto,Roberto Cano-de-la-Cuerda,Eduardo López-Larraz,J. Metrot,Marco Molinari,Liesjet van Dokkum +5 more
TL;DR: The emerging consensus is to consider the various motor therapies and pharmacological interventions as part of a single, large toolbox instead of separate entities, guiding us toward a more patient-therapist-tailored approach, which is demonstrating tremendous efficacy.

The Timed “Up & Go”: A Test of Basic Functional Mobility for Frail Elderly Persons
TL;DR: This study evaluated a modified, timed version of the “Get‐Up and Go” Test (Mathias et al, 1986) in 60 patients referred to a Geriatric Day Hospital and suggested that the timed “Up & Go’ test is a reliable and valid test for quantifying functional mobility that may also be useful in following clinical change over time.
Book
Gait Analysis: Normal and Pathological Function
TL;DR: This text encompasses the work of Dr Jacquelin Perry in her years as a therapist and surgeon focusing on the human gait, suitable for incorporating into many athletic training programmes, university physical therapy programmes and gait workshops.

International Standards for Neurological and Functional Classification of Spinal Cord Injury. American Spinal Injury Association.
TL;DR: The International Standards Booklet for Neurological and Functional Classification of Spinal Cord Injury (ISBWC) as mentioned in this paper is a standard for the classification of spinal cord injury. But it is not a classification of neurological disorders.
