In the past decade, advanced technologies in robotics have been explored to enhance the
rehabilitation of post-stroke patients. Previous works have shown that gait assistance for …

Stroke and spinal cord injury are common neurological disorders that can cause various
dysfunctions. Motor dysfunction is a common dysfunction that easily leads to complications …

We investigated the potential of machine learning techniques, at an early stage after stroke,
to predict the need for ankle–foot orthosis (AFO) in stroke patients. We retrospectively …

ABSTRACT Background: The Gait Exercise Assist Robot (GEAR) has been developed to
support gait training for stroke patients. The GEAR can assist paretic lower limb swing and …

Background Impairments of trunk movements in gait of stroke are often reported. Ankle foot
orthosis (AFO) is commonly used to improve gait of stroke; however, the effect of different …

Objective To evaluate whether ankle‐foot orthosis (AFO) has a beneficial effect on
dorsiflexion angle increase during the swing phase among individuals with stroke and …

Abstract Ankle-foot-orthoses (AFOs) are commonly prescribed to treat foot drop and
enhance walking in fall-prone individuals (eg stroke). AFOs improve static balance but AFO …

The present study examined the effects of wearable visual cues, provided by a wearable
laser device, on the gait pattern and stability in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). In …

Balance recovery after tripping often requires an active adaptation of foot placement. Thus
far, few attempts have been made to actively assist forward foot placement for balance …

Motor deficits are observed in Alzheimer's disease (AD) prior to the appearance of cognitive
symptoms. To investigate the role of amyloid proteins in gait disturbances, we characterized …
