The silk fiber is increasingly being sought for its superior mechanical properties, biocompatibility, and eco-friendliness, making it promising as a base material for various applications. One of the characteristics of protein fibers, such as silk, i...
Balance recovery after tripping often requires an active adaptation of foot placement. Thus far, few attempts have been made to actively assist forward foot placement for balance recovery employing wearable devices. This study aims to explore the pos...
BACKGROUND: Exoskeletons have become an important tool to help patients with upper extremity motor dysfunction in rehabilitation training and life assistance. In the study of the upper limb exoskeleton, the human glenohumeral joint will produce accom...
Robotic exoskeletons have considerable, but largely untapped, potential to restore mobility in individuals with neurological disorders, and other conditions that result in partial or complete immobilization. The growing demand for these devices neces...
