The aim of this study was to compare the over-ground gait pattern (sagittal kinematics and temporal and spatial) of individuals with CFS and control subjects at their self-selected and at matched velocities. Methods: Twelve individuals with CFS and 12 matched controls participated in the...http://www.jneuroengrehab.com/content/5/1/16 A haptic-robotic platform for upper-limb reaching stroke therapy: Preliminary design and evaluation results- May 22, 2008 Background: It has been shown that intense training can significantly improve post-stroke upper-limb functionality. However, opportunities for stroke survivors to practice rehabilitation exercises can be limited because of the finite availability of therapists and equipment. This paper presents a haptic-enabled exercise platform intended to assist therapists and moderate-level stroke survivors perform upper-limb reaching motion therapy. This work extends on existing knowledge by presenting: 1)..http://www.jneuroengrehab.com/content/5/1/15 |
