How Height and Weight of Patients with Spinal Cord Injury Affect the Spring Locations of Unpowered Energy-stored Exoskeleton
Xinyu Guan,Shengzheng Kuai,Liang Song,Chong Li,Weifeng Liu,Yali Liu,Linhong Ji,Rencheng Wang,Zhiqiang Zhang +8 more
TL;DR: The paper focused on the effects of body dimensions of patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) on the spring locations of unpowered energy-stored exoskeleton (ES-EXO) based on energy-Stored element optimization method and found patients with larger weight were likely to enhance OI force so as to provide sufficient hip flexion moment in swing phase.

Learning in the Damaged Brain/Spinal Cord: Neuroplasticity
TL;DR: The chapter gives an overview of the phenomena that constitute plasticity and the cellular events leading to them and evidence for neural plasticity in different regions of the brain and in the spinal cord is summarized in the contexts of learning, recovery, and rehabilitation therapy.
Dissertation
Gait locomotion generation and leg muscle evaluation for overground walking rehabilitation robots.
TL;DR: The present work has dealt successfully with a full-range of new robotic-assisted gait rehabilitation methodology, which includes human gait locomotion study, development of motion generation and control strategy, system implementations, clinical applications and quantitative assessment for an OGW rehabilitation training robot.

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.
