Design and control concepts of an exoskeleton for gait rehabilitation
TL;DR: In this article, the performance of proxy-based sliding mode control as a ldquorobot-in-charge-quo control strategy is evaluated both in simulation and in experiments on a test setup.

Effectiveness of the Lower extremity Powered ExoSkeleton (LOPES) robotic gait trainer on ability and quality of walking in SCI patients
Bertine M. Fleerkotte,Jacob H. Buurke,Bram Koopman,Leendert Schaake,Herman van der Kooij,Edwin H.F. van Asseldonk,Johan S. Rietman +6 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that training in the LOPES, using the “assist-as-needed” algorithm for hip flexion, improves the ability and quality of walking in the selected SCI patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Acquisition of a precision walking skill and the impact of proprioceptive deficits in people with motor-incomplete spinal cord injury.
TL;DR: People with motor-incomplete spinal cord injuries are able to achieve the same level of performance accuracy on a precision walking task as able-bodied controls; however, the rate of learning is slower, indicating that more practice is required to stabilize performance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Activity-Based Interventions for the Upper Extremity in Spinal Cord Injury
TL;DR: This article evaluates the literature pertaining to the use of activity-based interventions to improve UE function after SCI and discusses the relevance of evidence for activity- based intervention in rehabilitation of the lower extremities in individuals with SCI.

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.
