We reviewed our work with the Mirror Image Movement Enabler (MIME) robotic device to identify the essential therapeutic features. We compared robot-assisted therapy with conventional therapy and present trial results for shoulder and elbow...

We reviewed tools developed by our research groups to improve understanding of the mechanisms of locomotor adaptation during gait training following spinal cord injury, with a view toward implementing locomotor training with robotic device...

The Klinik Berlin/Charit?University Hospital, Berlin, Germany, designs intelligent machines to intensify motor rehabilitation without overstressing therapists. We designed a gait trainer to intensify patient gait training and relieve the s...

We reviewed human-centered strategies that enable robots to behave in a patient-cooperative way and support motor-function assessment. We then applied those principles to treadmill gait training, for example, through the use of motion cont...

Deakin University is taking the global lead in improving the quality of life of children with cerebral palsy. Dr Elise Davis and Professor Elizabeth Waters from Deakin's School of Health and Social Development have developed a world-first...

Daily events are minted into memories in the hippocampus, one of the oldest parts of the brain. For long-term storage, scientists believe that memories move to the neocortex, or " bark," the gray matter covering the hippocampus. This tr...

Researchers at the University of Minnesota's Institute for Human Genetics have shown for the first time that the severity of an adult neurodegenerative disease is tied to how well the brain developed shortly after birth. The researchers us...

A vaccine for treating a recurrent cancer of the central nervous system that occurs primarily in the brain, known as glioma, has shown promising results in preliminary data from a clinical trial at UCSF Medical Center. Findings from the fi...

Childhood is a time when young minds receive a vast amount of information. Until now, it's been thought that children believe most of what they hear. New research sheds light on children's abilities to distinguish between fantasy and r...
