: Robot-assisted neuro-rehabilitation is gaining acceptability among the physical therapy community. The ankle is one of the most complicated anatomical joints in the human body and neurologic injuries such as stroke often result in ankle and foot di...
Ankle injuries are among the most common injuries in sport and daily life. However, for their recovery, it is important for patients to perform rehabilitation exercises. These exercises are usually done with a therapist's guidance to help strengthen ...
The adjunctive use of biofeedback systems with exoskeletons may accelerate post-stroke gait rehabilitation. Wearable patient-oriented human-robot interaction-based biofeedback is proposed to improve patient-exoskeleton compliance regarding the intera...
In order to better perform rehabilitation training on the ankle joint complex in the direction of dorsiflexion/plantarflexion and inversion/eversion, especially when performing the isokinetic muscle strength exercise, we need to calibrate the kinemat...
Lower-limb wearable robotic devices can improve clinical gait and reduce energetic demand in healthy populations. To help enable real-world use, we sought to examine how assistance should be applied in variable gait conditions and suggest an approach...

This research introduces a new exoskeleton-type rehabilitation robot, which can be used in lower limb rehabilitation therapy for post-stroke patients. A novel design of a typical knee and ankle rehabilitation robot is proposed. The kinematic and dyna...
This study examined a series of machine learning models, evaluating their effectiveness in assessing children's energy expenditure, in terms of the metabolic equivalents (MET) of physical activity (PA), from triaxial accelerometery. The study also de...
Individuals with cerebral palsy can have weak and poorly coordinated ankle plantar flexor muscles that contribute to inefficient walking patterns. Previous studies attempting to improve plantar flexor function have had inconsistent effects on mobilit...
Spasticity of the ankle reduces quality of life by impeding walking and other activities of daily living. Robot-driven continuous passive movement (CPM) is a strategy for lower limb spasticity management but effects on spasticity, walking ability and...
Anklebot therapy has proven to be effective in improving hemiparetic gait. However, neither ankle torque steadiness nor the relationship between changes in force control and functional tasks after therapy with Anklebot were described. To assess whet...
