Journal ArticleDOI
Concurrent validity and test-retest reliability of the walkbot-k system for robotic gait training
TL;DR: This study provides the first compelling evidence of the children's robotic gait-assisted Walkbot-K system’s validity and reliability, indicating that the system is a highly valid and reliable robotic-assisted gait training system to evaluate and treat locomotor dysfunction.

Rhythmic arm swing enhances patterned locomotor-like muscle activity in passively moved lower extremities
Tetsuya Ogawa,Takahiko Sato,Toru Ogata,Shin Ichiro Yamamoto,Kimitaka Nakazawa,Noritaka Kawashima +5 more
TL;DR: Investigating in healthy subjects the degree of modification in the lower limb muscles during DGO‐induced passive gait by the addition of swing movement in the upper extremity showed that muscle activity in the ankle dorsiflexor TA muscle was significantly enhanced when the passive locomotor‐like movement was accompanied by arm swing movement.

TL;DR: In this article, the mesencephalic locomotor region (MLR) was used to induce locomotion in rats with spinal white matter destructions of >85% in order to improve functional recovery.

Body weight support during robot-assisted walking: influence on the trunk and pelvis kinematics.
Eva Swinnen,Jean-Pierre Baeyens,Gerrit Hens,Kristel Knaepen,David Beckwée,Marc Michielsen,Ron Clijsen,Eric Kerckhofs +7 more
TL;DR: There was a decrease in trunk and pelvis movement amplitude during RATW compared with regular TW, though it is not known if these changes are responsible for the limited efficacy of robot assisted gait rehabilitation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functional Recovery of a Locomotor Network after Injury: Plasticity beyond the Central Nervous System.
TL;DR: It is established that during recovery after injury, crawl-specific intersegmental coordination switches to a new dependence on afferent information.

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.

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.
