Variable Cadence Walking and Ground Adaptive Standing With a Powered Ankle Prosthesis.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
This paper describes a control approach that provides walking and standing functionality for a powered ankle prosthesis, and demonstrates the efficacy of the approach in experiments with a unilateral transtibial amputee subject. Both controllers inco...

Robot-Aided Neurorehabilitation: A Pediatric Robot for Ankle Rehabilitation.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
This paper presents the pediAnklebot, an impedance-controlled low-friction, backdriveable robotic device developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology that trains the ankle of neurologically impaired children of ages 6-10 years old. The desi...

The influence of push-off timing in a robotic ankle-foot prosthesis on the energetics and mechanics of walking.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Robotic ankle-foot prostheses that provide net positive push-off work can reduce the metabolic rate of walking for individuals with amputation, but benefits might be sensitive to push-off timing. Simple walking models suggest that preempt...

Assist-as-Needed Robot-Aided Gait Training Improves Walking Function in Individuals Following Stroke.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
A novel robot-aided assist-as-needed gait training paradigm has been developed recently. This paradigm encourages subjects' active participation during training. Previous pilot studies demonstrated that assist-as-needed robot-aided gait training (RAG...

Review on design and control aspects of ankle rehabilitation robots.

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
Ankle rehabilitation robots can play an important role in improving outcomes of the rehabilitation treatment by assisting therapists and patients in number of ways. Consequently, few robot designs have been proposed by researchers which fall under ei...

Passive ankle and hindfoot kinematics within a robot-driven tibial movement envelope.

Journal of biomechanics
Accurate description of individual bone kinematics is essential for understanding individual foot and ankle joint function and interactions. While invasive and noninvasive techniques, including robotic simulators, have advanced the direct measurement...

Visual analogue scale foot and ankle vs. short-form 36 quality of life scores: artificial intelligence using machine learning analysis with an external validation.

European review for medical and pharmacological sciences
OBJECTIVE: We aimed to utilize artificial intelligence (AI) via machine learning (ML) to analyze the relationship between visual analogue scale foot and ankle (VASFA) and short-form 36 (SF-36) quality of life scores and determine AI's performance ove...

[Voluntary and Adaptive Control Strategy for Ankle Rehabilitation Robot].

Zhongguo yi liao qi xie za zhi = Chinese journal of medical instrumentation
The control strategy of rehabilitation robots should not only adapt to patients with different levels of motor function but also encourage patients to participate voluntarily in rehabilitation training. However, existing control strategies usually co...

[Minimally invasive intelligent innovative technologies in foot and ankle surgery: development status and prospects].

Zhonghua wai ke za zhi [Chinese journal of surgery]
The rapid development of technology has ushered in a new era of minimally invasive and intelligent surgery.Minimally invasive surgeries, such as small incision, percutaneous surgery, arthroscopic surgery, and endoscopic surgery, have contributed to l...

Neuro-Rehabilitation Therapy with T-FLEX Ankle Exoskeleton and Serious Games: A Case Study.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) causes permanent disabilities, such as foot drop. This condition affects the gait pattern, increasing the metabolic cost and risk of falling. Robotics with serious games has shown promising results in the gait rehabilitati...
