Restoring Motor Functions After Stroke: Multiple Approaches and Opportunities

Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Estelle Emeline Raffin

More than 1.5 million people suffer a stroke in Europe per year and more than 70% of stroke survivors experience limited functional recovery of their upper limb, resulting in diminished quality of life. Therefore, interventions to address upper-limb impair ...

A multidirectional gravity-assist algorithm that enhances locomotor control in patients with stroke or spinal cord injury

Auke Ijspeert, Grégoire Courtine, Jocelyne Bloch, Joachim von Zitzewitz, Nicolas Francis Fumeaux, Marco Capogrosso, Rubia van den Brand, Jean-Baptiste Mignardot, Selin Anil, Jessica Lanini

Gait recovery after neurological disorders requires remastering the interplay between body mechanics and gravitational forces. Despite the importance of gravity-dependent gait interactions and active participation for promoting this learning, these essenti ...

Decoding of Self-paced Lower-Limb Movement Intention: A Case Study on the Influence Factors

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Ricardo Andres Chavarriaga Lozano, Dong Liu

Brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) have been applied as new rehabilitation tools for motor disabled individuals. Active involvement of cerebral activity has been shown to enhance neuroplasticity and thus to restore mobility. Various studies have focused on th ...

AUTONOMYO: Design Challenges of Lower Limb Assistive Device for Elderly People, Multiple Sclerosis and Neuromuscular Diseases

Hannes Bleuler, Mohamed Bouri, Amalric Louis Ortlieb

Lower limb wearable robotics also known as exoskeleton or power suit is a booming field of research. Potential medical applications cover a large range of gait disorders from rehabilitation to assistance in daily mobility. Surprisingly, or not, paraplegia ...

Climbing favours the tripod gait over alternative faster insect gaits

Dario Floreano, Auke Ijspeert, Thibault Lucien Christian Asselborn, Pavan P Ramdya, Robin Thandiackal

To escape danger or catch prey, running vertebrates rely on dynamic gaits with minimal ground contact. By contrast, most insects use a tripod gait that maintains at least three legs on the ground at any given time. One prevailing hypothesis for this differ ...

Cerebellar Ataxia and Coenzyme Q Deficiency through Loss of Unorthodox Kinase Activity

Matteo Dal Peraro, Deniz Aydin, Xiao Guo

The UbiB protein kinase-like (PKL) family is widespread, comprising one-quarter of microbial PKLs and five human homologs, yet its biochemical activities remain obscure. COQ8A (ADCK3) is a mammalian UbiB protein associated with ubiquinone (CoQ) biosynthesi ...

Influence of Spinal Cord Integrity on Gait Control in Human Spinal Cord Injury

Grégoire Courtine

Background. Clinical trials in spinal cord injury (SCI) primarily rely on simplified outcome metrics (ie, speed, distance) to obtain a global surrogate for the complex alterations of gait control. However, these assessments lack sufficient sensitivity to i ...

Mechanisms Underlying the Neuromodulation of Spinal Circuits for Correcting Gait and Balance Deficits after Spinal Cord Injury

Silvestro Micera, Grégoire Courtine, Eduardo Martin Moraud, Marco Capogrosso, Nikolaus Wenger, Emanuele Formento

Epidural electrical stimulation of lumbar segments facilitates standing and walking in animal models and humans with spinal cord injury. However, the mechanisms through which this neuromodulation therapy engages spinal circuits remain enigmatic. Using comp ...
