From biological organs to soft robotics, highly deformable materials are essential components of natural and engineered systems. These highly deformable materials can have heterogeneous material properties, and can experience heterogeneous deformatio...
Deep learning models (DLM) are efficient replacements for computationally intensive optimization techniques. Musculoskeletal models (MSM) typically involve resource-intensive optimization processes for determining joint and muscle forces. Consequentl...
Automated volumetric meshing of patient-specific heart geometry can help expedite various biomechanics studies, such as post-intervention stress estimation. Prior meshing techniques often neglect important modeling characteristics for successful down...
Lower limb exoskeletons and orthoses have been increasingly used to assist the user during gait rehabilitation through torque transmission and motor stability. However, the physical human-robot interface (HRi) has not been properly addressed. Current...
Quantitative Gait Analysis (QGA) is considered as an objective measure of gait performance. In this study, we aim at designing an artificial intelligence that can efficiently predict the progression of gait quality using kinematic data obtained from ...
This short communication presents the gait1415+2 musculoskeletal model, that has been developed in OpenSim to describe the lower-extremity of a human subject with transfemoral amputation wearing a generic lower-limb bone-anchored prosthesis. The mode...

UNLABELLED: Using wearable robotics to modulate step width in normal walking for enhanced mediolateral balance has not been demonstrated in the field. We designed a bilateral hip exoskeleton with admittance control to power hip abduction and adductio...
The value of intrinsic energetic behavior of human biomechanics has recently been recognized and exploited in physical human-robot interaction (pHRI). The authors have recently proposed the concept of "Biomechanical Excess of Passivity," based on non...
Limbless locomotors, from microscopic worms to macroscopic snakes, traverse complex, heterogeneous natural environments typically using undulatory body wave propagation. Theoretical and robophysical models typically emphasize body kinematics and acti...
In rehabilitation medicine, real-time analysis of the gait for human wearing lower-limb exoskeleton rehabilitation robot during walking can effectively prevent patients from experiencing excessive and asymmetric gait during rehabilitation training, t...
