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.

TL;DR: An electrochemical neuroprosthesis and a robotic postural interface designed to encourage supraspinally mediated movements in rats with paralyzing lesions triggered a cortex-dependent recovery that may improve function after similar injuries in humans.

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.

Enhanced Gait-Related Improvements After Therapist- Versus Robotic-Assisted Locomotor Training in Subjects With Chronic Stroke: A Randomized Controlled Study
T. George Hornby,Donielle D. Campbell,Jennifer H. Kahn,Tobey Demott,Jennifer L. Moore,Heidi Roth +5 more
TL;DR: Therapist-assisted LT facilitates greater improvements in walking ability in ambulatory chronic stroke survivors as compared to a similar dosage of robotic-assistedLT.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lower-Limb Robotic Rehabilitation: Literature Review and Challenges
TL;DR: This work reviews all current robotic systems to date for lower-limb rehabilitation, as well as main clinical tests performed with them, with the aim of showing a clear starting point in the field.

Journal ArticleDOI
Laufband therapy based on 'rules of spinal locomotion' is effective in spinal cord injured persons
TL;DR: The effects of a novel ‘Laufband (LB; treadmill) therapy’ based on ‘rules of spinal locomotion’ derived from lower vertebrates are reported and it is noteworthy that voluntary muscle activity at rest was similar in both groups.
Journal ArticleDOI
Speed-Dependent Treadmill Training in Ambulatory Hemiparetic Stroke Patients A Randomized Controlled Trial
TL;DR: Structured STT in poststroke patients resulted in better walking abilities than LTT or CGT, and provides a dynamic and integrative approach for the treatment of gait dysfunction after stroke.
Journal ArticleDOI
Laufband locomotion with body weight support improved walking in persons with severe spinal cord injuries
TL;DR: It appears that bipedal stepping with consequent knee extension and stabilisation can be taught after unilateral complete or near complete loss of voluntary activity, suggesting the manifestation of complex reflex motor patterns at the spinal level.

Mobility-related function in older adults: Assessment with a 6-minute walk test☆☆☆★
TL;DR: The 6-minute walk test is reliable and is valid in relation to the performance and self-reported indicators of physical functioning tested in this study, and could serve as a useful integrated measure of mobility.

Locomotor activity in spinal man: significance of afferent input from joint and load receptors.
TL;DR: It can be concluded that afferent input from hip joints, in combination with that from load receptors, plays a crucial role in the generation of locomotor activity in the isolated human spinal cord.
