Compared to traditional therapist-assisted rehabilitation training, ankle rehabilitation robots (ARRs) can offer a wider variety of active and passive training strategies for stroke and fracture patients. This enhances patient recovery outcomes and e...
Ankle exoskeletons have garnered considerable interest for their potential to enhance mobility, support rehabilitation, and reduce fall risks, particularly among the aging population. Their effectiveness depends on accurate, real-time prediction of u...
Although the field of wearable robotic exoskeletons is rapidly expanding, there are several barriers to entry that discourage many from pursuing research in this area, ultimately hindering growth. Chief among these is the lengthy and costly developme...

Inertial measurement units (IMUs) have become attractive for monitoring joint kinematics due to their portability and versatility. However, their limited accuracy, inability to analyze data in real-time, and complex data fusion algorithms requiring p...
BACKGROUND: The gold standard method for diagnosing low bone mineral density (BMD) is using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) however, most patients with low BMD are often not screened. We aimed to create a deep learning (DL) model to screen for...
BackgroundProprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) alone has limited effectiveness in restoring gait, while robotic-assisted gait training (RAGT) improves motor relearning through repetitive, task-specific movements. Combining PNF with robotic...
