Researchers are developing a robotic exoskeleton platform that could overcome the limitations of treadmills used during the rehabilitation of the many stroke survivors who have problems walking. More ...

In the United States every year, close to 800,000 people suffer a stroke – a sudden interruption in the blood supply of the brain. Many are left with a dragging foot. But doctors are working on an ...

Use of transcranial magnetic stimulation to the cerebellum promoted gait and balance recovery in stroke patients in a new study. "We showed a clear increase in walking ability and balance with this ...

A researcher will test whether brain stimulation combined with gait training can improve patients' ability to walk after a stroke. People 50 or older who have had a stroke will be enrolled in the ...

Helius Medical Technologies, Inc. announced positive outcomes from its Portable Neuromodulation Stimulator (PoNS) Stroke Registrational Program (SRP), which supports a planned FDA submission for ...

Stroke remains one of the leading causes of long-term disability worldwide, affecting millions each year. Among its most debilitating consequences is gait impairment, which affects over 80% of stroke ...

A team of New Jersey researchers has demonstrated that high-dose therapy gait training using robotic exoskeletons may aid early rehabilitation for acute stroke. The article, "Robotic exoskeleton gait ...

Stroke is the leading cause of serious long-term disability in the US with approximately 17 million individuals experiencing it each year. About 8 out of 10 stroke survivors suffer from "hemiparesis", ...

Researchers report advances in inpatient rehabilitation for acute stroke. Their findings indicate early intervention using the robotic exoskeleton for high-dose gait training may improve function.

People 50 or older who have had a stroke will be enrolled in the study and receive gait-training on a treadmill. The treatment group will receive tDCS prior to gait training. Electrical stimulation ...
