Effect of progressive horizontal resistive force on the comfortable walking speed of individuals post-stroke
Background: Individuals post-stroke select slow comfortable walking speeds (CWS) and the major factors used to select their CWS is unknown.ObjectiveTo determine the extent to which slow CWS post-stroke is achieved through matching a relative force output or targeting a particular walking speed. Methods: Ten neurologically nonimpaired individuals and fourteen chronic stroke survivors with hemiplegia were recruited. Participants were instructed to ?walk at the speed that feels most comfortable? on a treadmill against 12 progressively increasing horizontal resistive force levels applied at the pelvis using a robotic system th...

Muscle synergies and spinal maps are sensitive to the asymmetry induced by a unilateral stroke
Conclusions: Muscle synergies and spinal maps reflect the asymmetry as a motor deficit after stroke. However, further investigations are required to support or reject the hypothesis that the altered muscular organization highlighted by muscle synergies and spinal maps may be due to the concomitant contribution of the altered information coming from the upper part of the CNS, as resulting from the stroke, and to the abnormal sensory feedback due to the neuromuscular adaptation of the patients.

Efficacy of virtual reality-based intervention on balance and mobility disorders post-stroke: a scoping review
Rehabilitation interventions involving virtual reality (VR) technology have been developed for the promotion of functional independence post stroke. A scoping review was performed to examine the efficacy of VR-based interventions on balance and mobility disorders post stroke. Twenty-four articles in the English language examining VR game-based interventions and outcomes directed at balance and mobility disorders were included. Various VR systems (customized and commercially available) were used as rehabilitation tools. Outcome measures included laboratory and clinical measures of balance and gait. Outcome measures of dynam...

Effects of a wearable exoskeleton stride management assist system (SMA®) on spatiotemporal gait characteristics in individuals after stroke: a randomized controlled trial
Conclusions: SMA and FTST interventions provided similar, significant improvements in spatiotemporal gait parameters; however, the SMA group showed additional improvements across more parameters at various time points. These results indicate that the SMA® device could be a useful therapeutic tool to improve spatiotemporal parameters and contribute to improved functional mobility in stroke survivors. Further research is needed to determine the feasibility of using this device in a home setting vs a clinic setting, and whether such home use provides continued benefits.Trial registrationThis study is registered under the tit...

Feasibility of cardiopulmonary exercise testing and training using a robotics-assisted tilt table in dependent-ambulatory stroke patients
Conclusions: The augmented RATT is deemed feasible for incremental cardiopulmonary exercise testing and exercise training in dependent-ambulatory stroke patients: the approach was found to be technically implementable, acceptable to the patients, and it showed substantial cardiopulmonary responsiveness. This work has clinical implications for patients with severe disability who otherwise are not able to be tested.

Effect of the Wii Sports Resort on the improvement in attention, processing speed and working memory in moderate stroke
Stroke is the most common neurological disease in the world. After the stroke, some people suffer a cognitive disability. Commercial videogames have been used after stroke for physical rehabilitation; however,...

Selective control of gait subtasks in robotic gait training: foot clearance support in stroke survivors with a powered exoskeleton
Conclusion: The presented approach can provide selective control on one of the essential subtasks of walking. This module is the first in a set of modules to control all subtasks. This will enable the therapist to focus the support on the subtasks that are impaired, and leave the other subtasks up to the patient, encouraging him to actively participate in the training. Additionally, the speed-dependent reference patterns will provide the therapist with the tools to easily adapt the treadmill speed to the capabilities and progress of the patient.

Concurrent neuromechanical and functional gains following upper-extremity power training post-stroke
Background: Repetitive task practice is argued to drive neural plasticity following stroke. However, current evidence reveals that hemiparetic weakness impairs the capacity to perform, and practice, movements appropriately. Here we investigated how power training (i.e., high-intensity, dynamic resistance training) affects recovery of upper-extremity motor function post-stroke. We hypothesized that power training, as a component of upper-extremity rehabilitation, would promote greater functional gains than functional task practice without deleterious consequences.MethodNineteen chronic hemiparetic individuals were studied u...

EMG and kinematic analysis of sensorimotor control for patients after stroke using cyclic voluntary movement with visual feedback
The objective of this study is to investigate the parameters during voluntary arm tracking at different velocities for evaluating motor control performance after stroke Methods: Eight hemiplegic chronic stroke subjects were recruited to perform voluntary movements of elbow flexion and extension by following sinusoidal trajectories from 30 deg to 90 deg at six velocities in the horizontal plane by completing 3, 6, 8, 12, 15, 18 flexion and extension cycles in 36 seconds in a single trial, and the peak velocities ranged from 15.7 to 94.2 deg/s. The actual elbow angle and the target position were displayed as real-time visual...

Retraining and assessing hand movement after stroke using the MusicGlove: comparison with conventional hand therapy and isometric grip training
Conclusions: These results support the hypothesis that hand therapy that is engaging, incorporates high numbers of repetitions of gripping and thumb-finger opposition movements, and promotes afferent input is a promising approach to improving an individual's ability to manipulate small objects. The MusicGlove provides a simple way to access such therapy.

Training modalities in robot-mediated upper limb rehabilitation in stroke: a framework for classification based on a systematic review
Robot-mediated post-stroke therapy for the upper-extremity dates back to the 1990s. Since then, a number of robotic devices have become commercially available. There is clear evidence that robotic interventions improve upper limb motor scores and strength, but these improvements are often not transferred to performance of activities of daily living. We wish to better understand why. Our systematic review of 74 papers focuses on the targeted stage of recovery, the part of the limb trained, the different modalities used, and the effectiveness of each. The review shows that most of the studies so far focus on training of the ...
