Improvement of rehabilitation possibilities with the MotionMaker™

Mohamed Bouri, Reymond Clavel, Patrick Métrailler, Carl Schmitt, Jacques Fournier

"MotionMakertrade" is a stationary programmable test and training system for the lower limbs developed at the 'Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne' with the 'Fondation Suisse pour les Cybertheses'. The system is composed of two robotic orthoses compri ...

Système robotique pour la mobilisation des membres inférieurs d'une personne paraplégique

Patrick Métrailler

This thesis is the first to be carried out within the framework of the project "Cyberthosis for Paraplegics" in progress at the "Laboratoire de Systèmes Robotiques" (LSRO) of the "Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne" (EPFL). This project, initiated in ...

Clinical Trials with the WalkTrainer: Preliminary Results

Mohamed Bouri, Reymond Clavel, Patrick Métrailler, Jacques Fournier

Robotic devices are well suited for providing motion to the patient and information (positions, forces, etc.) to the therapist. The FSC and LSRO are combining their effort in the development of robotic re-education devices, focusing on active rehabilitatio ...

Pelvic Motion Implementation on the WalkTrainer

Mohamed Bouri, Reymond Clavel, Patrick Métrailler, Jacques Fournier

Pelvic motion is of great importance when walking, and have thus to be taken into account while developing rehabilitation robotics. This paper describes the implementation of a pelvic motion amplitude prediction model on a pelvic orthosis and tests on vali ...

The WalkTrainer: A Robotic System for Walking Rehabilitation

Mohamed Bouri, Reymond Clavel, Patrick Métrailler, Jacques Fournier

Standard reeducation methods for paraplegic people rely on manual or robotic mobilization on a treadmill. However in both cases the motion is generated by an exterior force, the training is thus called passive. In this context the Swiss Fondation for Cyber ...

The WalkTrainer™: A Robotic System for Walking Rehabilitation*

Mohamed Bouri, Reymond Clavel, Patrick Métrailler, Carl Schmitt

Robots are excellent tools for providing motion. Their motion is precise, stiff and as repeatable as we need. This led the Swiss Foundation for Cyberthosis (SFC) to exploit robotics jointly with the muscle electrostimulation as intelligent rehabilitation d ...

Pelvic motion measurement during over ground walking, analysis and implementation on the WalkTrainer reeducation device

Mohamed Bouri, Reymond Clavel, Patrick Métrailler, Jacques Fournier

Pelvic motions are of great importance while walking, and have thus to be taken into account when developing and controlling rehabilitation devices. This paper will first introduce a new reeducation devices for paraplegic people: the WalkTrainer. This devi ...

The WalkTrainer, a New Generation of Walking Reeducation Device Combining Orthoses and Muscle Stimulation

Mohamed Bouri, Reymond Clavel, Patrick Métrailler, Jacques Fournier

This paper presents a novel reeducation device for paraplegics that combines hybrid orthoses and closed-loop electrical muscle stimulation. Based on the so called Cyberthosis concept, the WalkTrainer enables an active muscular participation of the subject ...
