Abstract We aimed to compare the effects of robotic-assisted gait training (RAGT) in patients with FAC < 2 (low initial functional ambulation category [LFAC]) and FAC ≥ 2 (high initial functional ambulation category [HFAC]) on sensorimotor and spasticity, balance and trunk stability, the number of steps and walking distance in subacute hemiparetic stroke. Fifty-seven patients with subacute hemiparetic stroke (mean age, 63.86 ± 12.72 years; 23 women) were assigned to two groups. All patients received a 30-min Walkbot-assisted gait training session, 3 times/week, for 6 weeks. Clinical outcomes included scores obtained on the Fugl–Meyer Assessment (FMA) scale, Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS), Berg Balance Scale (BBS), trunk impairment scale (TIS), and the number of walking steps and walking distance. Analysis of covariance and analysis of variance were conducted at  p  < 0.05. Significant main effects of time in both groups on number of walking steps and distance ( p  ...

Background:  Although patients with hemiparetic stroke undergo various treatments to improve gait and movement, it remains unknown how spasticity and associated synergistic patterns change after robot-assisted and conventional treatment.  Objective:  To compare the effects of innovative ankle–knee–hip interlimb coordinated humanoid robot training (ICT) combined with conventional physical therapy (ICT-C) and conventional physical therapy and gait training (CPT-G) on abnormal spasticity and synergistic gait patterns.  Method:  Compare the therapeutic effects on abnormal lower-extremity synergistic pattern using the standardized Fugl-Meyer Assessment of Lower Extremity (FMA-LE) Investigate the biomechanical changes on Kinematic and kinetic gait parameters before and after ICT  Compare the effect on spasticity using the Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) Result:  ICT-C demonstrated more positive effects in clinical spasticity and abnormal synergy control than C...

  [Dr. Maheswarappa B.M. Senior Consultant & HOD - Physical Medicine Rehabilitaion & Sports Medicine] A vast majority of neurological conditions like Stroke, Traumatic brain jinjury, Spinal cord injury, Paraplegia, Quadriplegia, Gillian barre Syndrome, Parkinson's disease, One thing in common. It disrupts the connection between the brain and the muscles and joints. Such patients require neuro rehabilitation to get back to their best selt. Keeping this in mind we at Sakra world hospital have introduced robotic assisted neurological rehabilitation program. [Dr. Swaroop Gopal Director - Neuro Sciences]  As you know robotics offers another dimension to the neuro rehabilitation program at Sakra. As a neurosurgeon and a stroke neurosurgeon we see a lot of stroke and also we see a lot of trauma. Now apart from the routine Neuro rehabilitation done at Sakra, the robotics team now with the inclusion of the robots is going to add another dimension. Because, these robots are most...

Namyangju City and Namyangju Northern Welfare Center for the Disabled introduced rehabilitation robots for the first time in the northern Gyeonggi region. The opening ceremony for the walking rehabilitation robot was held on the 15th at Namyangju Bukbu Welfare Center for the Disabled under the theme of 'walk at your own pace, no one else'. Namyangju Bukbu Welfare Center for the Disabled, Pedestrian Rehabilitation Robot Opening Ceremony The city, the Northern Welfare Center for the Disabled, and P&S Mechanics Co., Ltd. formed a consortium for the '2021 Robot Utilization and Benefit Support Project' hosted by the Korea Robot Industry Promotion Agency. The North Welfare Center for the Disabled in Namyangju plans to carry out a pilot project by March next year, and to implement the robot rehabilitation service ('Walkbot') in earnest from April. 'Workbot' supports safe walking rehabilitation for patients who have difficulty walking due to lack of mus...
