“…The VA's Journal of Rehabilitation Research and Development (JRRD) published a special topic issue in 2007 on VA pain research, and in an editorial for that supplement, Kerns documented an increase in ORD‐funded pain‐relevant research projects from 10 in 2000 to 47 in 2007 [8]. An accompanying editorial by Elnitsky, Bryan, and Kerns documented continued growth in the ORD pain portfolio and its impact by demonstrating a 27% increase in funded research and a similarly large increase in pain‐related publications in the 2 years preceding publication of their review [9]. It was noted that funded research and publications were distributed across each of the ORD services.…”

“…In order to describe the components of the GRF is the use of linear equations (Delisa, 1998), the vertical component of the ground reaction force (Fy), determined from the equation 7 is the higher interest as soon as the modeling of GRF curve will be based on this.…”
Section: Dynamics Of Ground Reaction Force In Gaitmentioning
Human mobility is the key element of everyday life, its reduction or loss deeply affects daily activities. In assisted rehabilitation, robotic devices have focuses on the biomechanics of motor control. However, biomechanics does not study the neurological and physiological processes related to normal gait. Biomimetics combined with biomechanics, can generate a more efficient stimulation of the motor cortex and the locomotor system. The highest efficiency obtained through torque generation models, based on the physiological response of muscles and bones to reaction forces, together with control techniques based on autonomic computation. An autonomic control algorithm has a self-adjusting behaviour, ensuring patient safety and robot operation without the continuous monitoring of the physiotherapist. Thus, this work will identify the elements that characterize the physiological stimuli related to normal human gait, focusing on the ankle joint, aiming the development of biomimetic algorithms for robots for rehabilitation of the lower limbs.
“…lio [11], and annual reports since that time provide evidence of yearly growth in terms of the number, scope, and financial expenditures in support of the VA's pain research portfolio.…”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
