Safety and Efficacy: The Impact of Robotic Hip Exoskeleton on Outpatient Stroke Rehabilitation Background Stroke is the leading cause of disability among adults in the United States, with up to 80% of stroke survivors experiencing gait impairments, such as reduced walking speed, endurance, and asymmetrical gait, thereby limiting their ability to wa...
The Impact of Exoskeleton Rehabilitation Robot Training on Balance and Lower Limb Function in Subacute Stroke Patients: A Preliminary, Randomized Controlled Trial Research Background and Purpose Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. With the rapid development of stroke treatment technology, the mortality rate of stroke has si...
Academic Report on “The Scope Review of Upper Limb Tactile Deficit Examination Methods” In recent years, post-stroke patients’ capacity to perceive tactile stimuli has become a focal point of research. This perception is very important for the execution of movements and learning activities in everyday life. However, tactile perceptual deficits seri...
Robot-Assisted Assessment of Chronic Stroke Adults’ Ankle Proprioception Deficits and Related Brain Injury Academic Background Stroke is a common neurological disorder, often resulting in hemiplegia, which affects the patient’s balance and gait control. Proprioception refers to the self-perception of body posture and movement, provided by mechanore...
Background Introduction Stroke is one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide, with the total number of stroke patients increasing globally due to population aging and urbanization. Although advances in treatment have reduced mortality rates, the number of survivors requiring rehabilitation has increased significantly. This is parti...
Introduction Fall events are common across various clinical populations, with usual risk assessments including visual observation of individual gait. However, gait observation assessments are typically confined to laboratory settings, involving standardized walking protocol tests to identify potential defects that might increase fall risk. Subtle d...
A New Method for Automatic Gait Event Detection: Analysis of Inertial Measurement Units in Healthy Subjects and Patients with Moderate to Severe Impairment Cyril Voisard, Nicolas de L’Escalopier, Damien Ricard, Laurent Oudre.

Research Report Background Introduction With an aging population and the increase in neurological and muscular diseases such as stroke, the risk of tripping and falling due to gait disorders has become a serious problem. Research shows that ankle dorsiflexion is crucial for ensuring foot clearance during the swing phase of gait. However, there is l...
Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis on the Impact of Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) on Cortical Activity - Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) Evaluation Background Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a device that induces currents within the cerebral cortex through the generation of a magnetic fiel...
Coordination of Both Hands and Spinal Cord Neuroregulation: How Transcutaneous Spinal Cord Stimulation Changes the Neural Substrate of Bimanual Actions Background: Humans use their arms in complex ways, often requiring coordination of both hands. Neurological disorders have limited this distinctive feature of the human motor system. Understanding h...
