MIT Skywalker: A Novel Robot for Gait Rehabilitation of Stroke and Cerebral Palsy Patients

by Tyler Gregory, Susko Ibi, Herauem Igo Krebs, David E. Hardt, Tyler Gregory Susko , 2015
"... Every two minutes, 3 people in the United States will have a stroke and every hour an American baby is born with cerebral palsy. The only method available to recover from motor impairments associated with these brain injuries is time-consuming labor in-tensive physical and occupational therapy. Uppe ..."

to manual methods in the only available sizable randomized control trials. Thus, there exists an urgent need for novel methods to augment gait rehabilitation. This thesis outlines the design and development of a novel gait rehabilitation robot, the MIT-Skywalker, that enables the exploration of new methods

Effect of Robot-Assisted Treadmill Training on Motor Functions Depending on Severity of Impairment in Patients with Bilateral Spastic Cerebral Palsy

by Stanislava Klobucká, Michal Ková, Robert Klobuck, Rehabilitation Centre Harmony Bratislava
"... Abstract: Objective: To assess impact of RATT (robot-assisted treadmill training) on motor function in patients with cerebral palsy depending on the severity of motor impairment. Design: Uncontrolled prospective pilot study with pre-post treatment outcome comparison according to severity of motor im ..."

PASCAL: Pediatric Arm Support Robot for Combined Arm and Leg Training

by Alexander Koenig , Urs Keller , Kim Pfluger , Andreas Meyer-Heim , Robert Riener
"... Abstract-Cerebral palsy (CP) occurs in over 2 out of 1000 live births and can impair motor control and cognition. Automated robotics systems are now able to assist upper-and lower extremity therapy for patients with CP. Existing robots, however, exercise either the upper or the lower extremities in ..."
