BACKGROUND Stroke is the most common cause of disability in Western Countries. It can
lead to loss of mobility, capability to walk and ultimately loss of independence in activities of …

Background In the past decade, there has been substantial progress in the development of
robotic controllers that specify how lower-limb exoskeletons should interact with brain …

Introduction: Disturbances of balance control are common after stroke, affecting the quality of
gait and increasing the risk of falls. Because balance and gait disorders may persist also in …

Abstract Background Robotic-Assisted Gait Training (RAGT) may enable high-intensive and
task-specific gait training post-stroke. The effect of RAGT on gait movement patterns has …

Background Individuals requiring greater physical assistance to practice walking complete
fewer steps in physical therapy during subacute stroke rehabilitation. Powered exoskeletons …

In order to strengthen the participation of stroke patients in rehabilitation training and
weaken the dependence of steady-state visually evoked potential (SSVEP)-based brain …

Chronic impairment in the paretic ankle following stroke often requires that individuals use
compensatory patterns such as asymmetric propulsion to achieve effective walking speeds …

Introduction Stroke is always associated with a difficult functional recovery process. A brain–
computer interface (BCI) is a technology which provides a direct connection between the …

The surface electromyography (sEMG) signal has been used for volitional control of robotic
assistive devices. There are still challenges in improving system performance accuracy and …

ABSTRACT The Guidelines for Stroke Rehabilitation are the result of a joint effort by the
Scientific Department of Neurological Rehabilitation of the Brazilian Academy of Neurology …
