Gait re-education is a primary rehabilitation goal after stroke. In this study, we used instrumented gait analysis for evaluating the outcomes of gait training assisted by an endpoint robot in a population of six chronic stroke survivors. The preliminary results, based on spatial-temporal and kinematic analysis, suggest that (a) self-placed...

We developed a robot-assisted rehabilitation protocol, specifically designed to treat cerebellar and motor symptoms in subjects with Multiple Sclerosis. The task consists of controlling a 'virtual' tool (a mass-spring system), under the effect of a resistive force. The exercise is designed in such a way that task difficulty and the degree of...
