Effect of robotic-assisted gait rehabilitation on dynamic equilibrium control in the gait of children with cerebral palsy

Effect of Robot-Assisted Gait Training in a Large Population of Children With Motor Impairment Due to Cerebral Palsy or Acquired Brain Injury

“…14,[18][19][20] A recent study verified the effect of robotic treatment in a small group of children with CP and demonstrated the usefulness of this robotic gait rehabilitation mainly in the balance control during gait and in the improvement of postural and locomotor functions. 21 Another study demonstrated the effectiveness of RAGT treatment in children with hemiplegia after ABI. The results showed a proximal-to-distal differential effect on the lower limbs and suggested that the participation in RAGT during the acute and/or subacute stage provides positive outcome in terms of global motor abilities, cadence, and gait velocity.…”

Effects of Robotic Rehabilitation on Motor Functions in Children with Cerebral Palsy

“…van Hedel et al was reported that the children with more functional disability were more likely to benefit from RR. In studies that have compared RR with conventional PT, different results have been reported in respect of efficacy (4,10,11,22,23). In a study which compared 20 sessions of RR and PT in bilateral spastic, level 2 children aged 8-10 years, improvement was recorded in the RR group in GMFS-D and E points (4).…”

“…Robot-assisted gait training is based on the principles of sensorimotor learning. Through the intensive and repeated visual and auditory stimuli given in the different phases of walking, it is intended to regain functional ambulation (4).…”

“…There is not yet considered to be sufficient information to be able to form recommendations for robot-assisted walking in CP childen (5,6). Some studies have reported that robot-assisted walking has provided an increase in gross motor skills, walking speed and resistance (4,(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13), and an increase in participation and performance of daily living activities (9,14). However, it has been claimed that there is a need for stronger evidence of the role and efficacy of robot-assisted walking in the clinical treatment of CP children (10,15).…”

Einfluss von Expanderzügen auf dem Laufband auf spatio-temporale und dynamische Gangparameter bei gesunden Probanden

“…Vor allem für die Behandlung von neurologischen Erkrankungen (Querschnittlähmung, Morbus Parkinson, Multiple Sklerose, Schlaganfall, Alzheimer etc.) wird vermehrt auf den Einsatz von Robotiksystemen und Exoskeletten gesetzt [1][2][3][4][5]. Aktuelle Studienergebnisse deuten darauf hin, dass insbesondere bei Patienten mit Schlaganfall eine unterstützende funktionelle, elektrische Muskelstimulation den Therapieerfolg steigert [6].…”
