The target group consists of people who have had a stroke and have impaired motor control. The main goals of LOPES are: Reduction of the physical load on the therapist / patient; More efficient gait training for stroke patients; Selective support of gait functions; Therapist stays in charge of high-level decisions.
Gait training or gait rehabilitation is the act of learning how to walk, either as a child, or, more frequently, after sustaining an injury or disability.Normal human gait is a complex process, which happens due to co-ordinated movements of the whole of the body, requiring the whole of Central Nervous System - the brain and spinal cord, to function properly.
This study addresses the prevalent issue of gait deficits in stroke survivors, affecting up to 80% of patients despite current rehabilitation efforts. The research emphasizes the necessity for user-friendly rehabilitation technologies, introducing a soft wearable robot (exosuit) from Harvard's Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired ...
A gait trainer is a wheeled device that assists a person who is unable to walk independently to learn or relearn to walk safely and efficiently as part of gait training. Gait trainers are intended for children or adults with physical disabilities, to provide the opportunity to improve walking ability. A gait trainer offers both unweighting ...
The Bobath concept is an approach to neurological rehabilitation that is applied in patient assessment and treatment (such as with adults after stroke [1] or children with cerebral palsy [2]). The goal of applying the Bobath concept is to promote motor learning for efficient motor control in various environments, thereby improving participation ...
Cerebral palsy and stroke patients are commonly seen in gait labs. The study of gait allows diagnoses and intervention strategies to be made, as well as permitting future developments in rehabilitation engineering. Aside from clinical applications, gait analysis is used in professional sports training to optimize and improve athletic performance.
Focus on your gait, try new terrain and other ways to improve your walk. [Yahoo Life] [Yahoo Life] Why resistance training is key to staying fit as you age — and why you don’t need to hit the ...
Patients with hemiplegia following a stroke commonly experience shoulder pain and subluxation; both of which will interfere with the rehabilitation process. Functional electrical stimulation has been found to be effective for the management of pain and reduction of shoulder subluxation, as well as accelerating the degree and rate of motor recovery.
