Abstract:Rehabilitation interventions are crucial in promoting neuroplasticity after spinal cord injury (SCI). We provided rehabilitation with a single-joint hybrid assistive limb (HAL-SJ) ankle joint unit (HAL-T) in a patient with incomplete SCI. The patient had incomplete paraplegia and SCI (neurological injury height: L1, ASIA Impairment Scale: C, ASIA motor score (R/L) L4:0/0, S1:1/0) following a rupture fracture of the first lumbar vertebra. The HAL-T consisted of a combination of ankle plantar dorsiflexion exerci… Show more
“…The Special Issue closes with an insight into the innovative use of robotics for neuromotor rehabilitation in clinical settings. Koseki et al [ 17 ] provide an ankle rehabilitation training program with robot-assisted device in a patient with incomplete spinal cord injury. Using a three-dimensional motion analyzer and surface EMG, the Authors evaluate the treatment effectiveness using ankle plantar dorsiflexion exercises in the sitting position, knee flexion—extension exercises in the standing position, and stepping exercises in the standing position with hybrid-assistive limb assistance.…”
