For this study, the Kessler team analyzed the ability of the robotic device (Ekso GT by Ekso Bionics, Inc.) to provide gait training to restore functional gait in individuals with stroke.

Stroke often results in persistent gait impairments, limiting mobility and reducing quality of life. This study evaluated FAST walk, a novel electromyography-triggered system that combines ...

Stroke remains one of the leading causes of long-term disability worldwide, affecting millions each year. Among its most ...

Effect of robotic exoskeleton gait training during acute stroke on functional ambulation. NeuroRehabilitation, 2021; 48 (4): 493 DOI: 10.3233/NRE-210010 ...

Stroke remains one of the leading causes of long-term disability worldwide, affecting millions each year. Among its most debilitating consequences is ...

Functional movement disorders (FMD), previously referred to as “psychogenic” movement disorders, are characterized by abnormal movements, postures or spasms, such as shaking (irregular tremor) or ...

Gait, or the way you walk, affects not only your stability but also the functional strength of your entire body. If the biomechanics of your gait is off, you’re at risk of falling as well as muscle ...

A team of researchers at the University of California, San Francisco has developed a data-driven method for optimizing deep ...

At baseline, balance and spatiotemporal gait measures were similar in the study group and control group, except for antero-posterior sway on perturbed surface with eyes open (P = .008; t = −2.912).

--Helius Medical Technologies, Inc., a neurotech company focused on delivering a novel therapeutic neuromodulation approach for balance and gait deficits, announced today that it has concluded its ...
