Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common childhood physical disability - 2.0-3.5 per 1000 births - and children born with it have impaired development and diminished control of movement and posture. In ...

New robotic training technology helps children with cerebral palsy to sit more stably, reports a new study. The findings of the study are published in the journal IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems ...

A team led by an Indian scientist from Columbia Engineering has developed a robotic system that can be used to support and train people with spinal cord injuries to sit more stably by strengthening ...

Kessler Foundation researchers have published a new clinical study investigating the effects of robotic postural stand training combined with spinal cord epidural stimulation (Stand-scES) on trunk ...

Design: Deficits in trunk control due to spinal cord injury (SCI) lead to slower target-reaching movements of the hand. We investigated whether the movement path is also affected, and whether ...

An engineering team has invented a robotic device -- the Trunk-Support Trainer (TruST) -- that can be used to assist and train people with spinal cord injuries (SCIs) to sit more stably by improving ...
