Effects of the robot-assisted gait training device plus physiotherapy in improving ambulatory functions in subacute stroke patients with hemiplegia: An assessor-blinded, randomized controlled trial
Stroke is a major health problem worldwide1 and a major cause of death in people over 60 years old in many countries.2, 3 Hemiplegia is one of the disabilities resulting from stroke.4 Patients with hemiplegia usually have difficulties in maintaining their ambulatory function and daily activities.5, 6 Restoring ambulatory function is one of the main objectives in stroke rehabilitation.

Exoskeleton-assisted Anthropomorphic Movement Training (EAMT) for Post-stroke Upper Limb Rehabilitation: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial
Stroke is the leading cause of mortality and disability worldwide, and it places a substantial burden on healthcare services and the socioeconomic system.1 More than two-thirds of individuals with stroke have upper extremity motor impairment and functional deficits at hospital admission,2, 3 manifesting as muscle weakness, loss of coordination and abnormal synergies.4 Moreover, upper limb dysfunction leads to long-term limitations in activities of daily living (ADL) and social participation.5 Extensive studies have reported that participants can benefit from high-intensity, task-specific training programs based on motor-le...

Effects of Action Observation Training in Gait Speed of Stroke Patients: A Case Series
Stroke is considered as a primary cause of disability and results to problems in activities of daily living. Action Observation Training (AOT) is an emerging cost-effective physical therapy intervention (PT) which involves facilitation of mirror neurons through viewing of video clips of a healthy individual performing an activity similar to that of the desired task. This intends to describe the effects of AOT used in conjunction with conventional PT interventions in gait speed of stroke patients.

GETCare: Development of a Comprehensive Education and Training Program For Care-Partners Post-Stroke
Stroke is the leading cause of long-term disability in the United States, with spousal partners often filling a significant role as caregivers after loved ones return home. Without adequate resources, this new role can lead to increased burden and depression for care-partners, and decreased rehabilitation effectiveness for stroke survivors. Research suggests the quality and amount of education provided to care-partners is severely lacking and there is need for improved services and resources. The purpose of this project was to conduct a needs assessment, create the GETCare program, and gather stakeholder feedback in prepar...

Combining Robotic & Assistive Technologies To Improve Outcomes: A Pilot Study Quantifying Stroke Rehabilitation
Stroke is the leading causes of long-term disability in the United States. Unfortunately, many survivors experience upper extremity (UE) impairment with few rehabilitation opportunities, secondary to a lack of voluntary muscle control. We developed a novel UE rehabilitation paradigm (TDS-HM) that uses a Tongue Drive System (TDS) to control a robotic device (HandMentor: HM), encouraging active learning through a game-like user interface. We hypothesize TDS-HM training will improve motor performance, reduce UE impairment, and improve quality of life in stroke survivors.

Improvement of Driving Skills in Persons With Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis: A Pilot Study
Conclusions: This pilot study demonstrates the potential of using a simulator to improve driving-related visual, cognitive, and on-road skills in individuals with RRMS, particularly those with an EDSS score>3. Future randomized controlled trials with adequate power are needed to expand this field of study.
