The effectiveness of Robot-Assisted Gait Training versus conventional therapy on mobility in severely disabled progressIve MultiplE sclerosis patients (RAGTIME): study protocol for a randomized controlled trial.
Trials
Feb 27, 2017
BACKGROUND: Gait and mobility impairments affect the quality of life (QoL) of patients with progressive multiple sclerosis (MS). Robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) is an effective rehabilitative treatment but evidence of its superiority compared to ...

Design and evaluation of a variable stiffness manual operating platform for laparoendoscopic single site surgery (LESS).
The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
Feb 20, 2017
BACKGROUND: Most of the existing robotic platforms for LESS have workspace and load capacity weaknesses, because of the limitation of one single incision. We have developed a LESS manual operating platform of which the stiffness of the insertion tube...
Flow separation on flapping and rotating profiles with spanwise gradients.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Feb 15, 2017
The growth of leading-edge vortices (LEV) on analogous flapping and rotating profiles has been investigated experimentally. Three time-varying cases were considered: a two-dimensional reference case with a spanwise-uniform angle-of-attack variation α...
Using data from the Microsoft Kinect 2 to determine postural stability in healthy subjects: A feasibility trial.
PloS one
Feb 14, 2017
The objective of this study was to determine whether kinematic data collected by the Microsoft Kinect 2 (MK2) could be used to quantify postural stability in healthy subjects. Twelve subjects were recruited for the project, and were instructed to per...
The effect of leg compliance in multi-directional jumping of a flea-inspired mechanism.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Feb 10, 2017
Inspired by the relationship between leg compliance and jumping performance in the false stick insect, this paper describes how variations in leg compliance and jumping direction affect the performance of a flea-inspired jumping mechanism. The amount...
Monitoring Hitting Load in Tennis Using Inertial Sensors and Machine Learning.
International journal of sports physiology and performance
Feb 9, 2017
CONTEXT: Quantifying external workload is fundamental to training prescription in sport. In tennis, global positioning data are imprecise and fail to capture hitting loads. The current gold standard (manual notation) is time intensive and often not p...
Effect of body weight support variation on muscle activities during robot assisted gait: a dynamic simulation study.
Computer methods in biomechanics and biomedical engineering
Feb 9, 2017
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: While body weight support (BWS) intonation is vital during conventional gait training of neurologically challenged subjects, it is important to evaluate its effect during robot assisted gait training. In the present researc...
Compact and low-cost humanoid hand powered by nylon artificial muscles.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Feb 3, 2017
This paper focuses on design, fabrication and characterization of a biomimetic, compact, low-cost and lightweight 3D printed humanoid hand (TCP Hand) that is actuated by twisted and coiled polymeric (TCP) artificial muscles. The TCP muscles were rece...
Robotic-assisted gait training improves walking abilities in diplegic children with cerebral palsy.
European journal of paediatric neurology : EJPN : official journal of the European Paediatric Neurology Society
Feb 2, 2017
The robotic-assisted gait training therapy (RAGT), based on intensity and repetition of movement, presents beneficial effects on recovery and improvement of postural and locomotor functions of the patient. This study sought to highlight the effect of...
A learning-based markerless approach for full-body kinematics estimation in-natura from a single image.
Journal of biomechanics
Jan 31, 2017
We present a supervised machine learning approach for markerless estimation of human full-body kinematics for a cyclist from an unconstrained colour image. This approach is motivated by the limitations of existing marker-based approaches restricted b...
