Repeated Robot-Assisted Unilateral Stiffness Perturbations Result in Significant Aftereffects Relevant to Post-Stroke Gait Rehabilitation
Vaughn Chambers,Panagiotis Artemiadis,Vaughn Chambers,Panagiotis Artemiadis
Due to hemiparesis, stroke survivors frequently develop a dysfunctional gait that is often characterized by an overall decrease in walking speed and a unilateral decrease in step length. With millions currently affected by this dys-functional gait, robust and effective rehabilitation protocols are needed. Although robotic devices have been used in numerous rehabilitation protocols for gait, the la...
