Traditionally, these devices use active elements (e.g., motors or actuators) to provide resistance during walking, making them bulky, expensive, and less suitable for overground or in-home rehabilitation. We recently developed a low-cost, wearable robotic brace that generates resistive torques across the knee joint using a simple magnetic brake. However, the possible effects of training with this device on gait function in a clinical population are currently unknown.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec specific-use=\"heading-level-1\">\n                    <jats:title>Objective:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The purpose of this study was to test the acute effects of resisted walking with this device on kinematics, muscle activation patterns, and gait velocity in chronic stroke survivors.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec specific-use=\"heading-level-1\">\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Six stroke survivors wore the resistive brace and walked on a treadmill for 20 minutes (4\u00d75 minutes) at their self-selected walking speed while simultaneously performing a foot trajectory-tracking task to minimize stiff-knee gait. Electromyography, sagittal plane gait kinematics, and overground gait velocity were collected to evaluate the acute effects of the device on gait function.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec specific-use=\"heading-level-1\">\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Robotic-resisted treadmill training resulted in a significant increase in quadriceps and hamstring EMG activity during walking. Significant aftereffects (i.e., improved joint excursions) were also observed on the hip and knee kinematics, which persisted for several steps after training. More importantly, training resulted in significant improvements in overground gait velocity. These results were consistent in all the subjects tested.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec specific-use=\"heading-level-1\">\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study provides preliminary evidence indicating that robotic-resisted treadmill walking using our knee brace can result in meaningful biomechanical aftereffects that translate to overground walking.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3233\/rnn-170782","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,3,9]],"date-time":"2018-03-09T11:02:42Z","timestamp":1520593362000},"page":"215-223","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":23,"title":["A wearable resistive robot facilitates locomotor adaptations during gait"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"36","author":[{"given":"Edward P.","family":"Washabaugh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"NeuRRo Lab","place":["USA"]},{"name":"University of Michigan","place":["USA"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chandramouli","family":"Krishnan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"NeuRRo Lab","place":["USA"]},{"name":"University of Michigan","place":["USA"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,3,8]]},"reference":[{"issue":"4","key":"e_1_3_2_2_1","first-page":"440","article-title":"Motor skills learning and the specificity of training principle","volume":"44","author":"Barnett M.L.","year":"1973","unstructured":"BarnettM.L., RossD., SchmidtR.A., & ToddB.
