Running With an Elastic Lower Limb Exoskeleton.

Journal of applied biomechanics
Although there have been many lower limb robotic exoskeletons that have been tested for human walking, few devices have been tested for assisting running. It is possible that a pseudo-passive elastic exoskeleton could benefit human running without th...

A Clinically Relevant Method of Analyzing Continuous Change in Robotic Upper Extremity Chronic Stroke Rehabilitation.

Neurorehabilitation and neural repair
BACKGROUND: Robots designed for rehabilitation of the upper extremity after stroke facilitate high rates of repetition during practice of movements and record precise kinematic data, providing a method to investigate motor recovery profiles over time...

Tibial rotation influences anterior knee stability--a robot-aided in-vitro study.

Clinical biomechanics (Bristol, Avon)
BACKGROUND: Anterior cruciate ligament rupture can lead to symptomatic instability, especially during pivoting activities, which are often associated with increased anterior and rotational tibial loading. Therefore, the purpose of our robot-aided in-...

Estimation of Human Arm Joints Using Two Wireless Sensors in Robotic Rehabilitation Tasks.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
This paper presents a novel kinematic reconstruction of the human arm chain with five degrees of freedom and the estimation of the shoulder location during rehabilitation therapy assisted by end-effector robotic devices. This algorithm is based on th...

Microrobotized blasting improves the bone-to-textured implant response. A preclinical in vivo biomechanical study.

Journal of the mechanical behavior of biomedical materials
This study evaluated the effect of microrobotized blasting of titanium endosteal implants relative to their manually blasted counterparts. Two different implant systems were utilized presenting two different implant surfaces. Control surfaces (Manual...

Can shoulder joint reaction forces be estimated by neural networks?

Journal of biomechanics
To facilitate the development of future shoulder endoprostheses, a long term load profile of the shoulder joint is desired. A musculoskeletal model using 3D kinematics and external forces as input can estimate the mechanical load on the glenohumeral ...

Time-of-flight-assisted Kinect camera-based people detection for intuitive human robot cooperation in the surgical operating room.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
BACKGROUND: Scene supervision is a major tool to make medical robots safer and more intuitive. The paper shows an approach to efficiently use 3D cameras within the surgical operating room to enable for safe human robot interaction and action percepti...

Improving proprioceptive deficits after stroke through robot-assisted training of the upper limb: a pilot case report study.

Neurocase
The purpose of this study was to determine whether a conventional robot-assisted therapy of the upper limb was able to improve proprioception and motor recovery of an individual after stroke who exhibited proprioceptive deficits. After robotic sensor...

In Vivo Pattern Classification of Ingestive Behavior in Ruminants Using FBG Sensors and Machine Learning.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Pattern classification of ingestive behavior in grazing animals has extreme importance in studies related to animal nutrition, growth and health. In this paper, a system to classify chewing patterns of ruminants in in vivo experiments is developed. T...

Learning to walk with an adaptive gain proportional myoelectric controller for a robotic ankle exoskeleton.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Robotic ankle exoskeletons can provide assistance to users and reduce metabolic power during walking. Our research group has investigated the use of proportional myoelectric control for controlling robotic ankle exoskeletons. Previously, ...
