Review of control strategies for robotic movement training after neurologic injury
TL;DR: There is increasing interest in using robotic devices to assist in movement training following neurologic injuries such as stroke and spinal cord injury, and this review summarizes techniques for implementing assistive strategies, including impedance-, counterbalance-, and EMG- based controllers, as well as adaptive controllers that modify control parameters based on ongoing participant performance.

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.

Late neurological changes following traumatic spinal cord injury.
TL;DR: The majority of improvement in neurological function occurred within the 1st year following injury; however, changes in the patients' status continued for many years.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spinal cord injury medicine. 3. Rehabilitation outcomes.
TL;DR: In this article, a self-directed learning module highlights rehabilitation outcomes in spinal cord injury (SCI), including the potential for ambulation, upper-extremity recovery, options for functional neuromuscular stimulation (FNS), sexual activity, and optimal outcome after a metastatic lesion.
