The FreeD module's lateral translation timing in the gait robot Lokomat: a manual adaptation is necessary.
Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
Aug 18, 2023
BACKGROUND: Pelvic and trunk movements are often restricted in stationary robotic gait trainers. The optional FreeD module of the driven gait orthosis Lokomat offers a combined, guided lateral translation and transverse rotation of the pelvis and may...
A hybrid orthosis combining functional electrical stimulation and soft robotics for improved assistance of drop-foot.
Medical engineering & physics
Apr 11, 2023
Drop-foot is characterised by an inability to lift the foot, and affects an estimated 3 million people worldwide. Current treatment methods include rigid splints, electromechanical systems, and functional electrical stimulation (FES). However, these ...
Study on Ergonomic Design of Artificial Intelligence Lower Limb Assist Brace for the Elderly.
Computational intelligence and neuroscience
Aug 5, 2022
The ergonomic design study of artificial intelligence lower limb-assisted brace for the elderly is a new design standard of lower limb-assisted brace for the elderly with mobility problems. Based on human factors engineering, this study tested and an...
A convolutional neural network to detect scoliosis treatment in radiographs.
International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
Apr 26, 2020
PURPOSE: The aim of this work is to propose a classification algorithm to automatically detect treatment for scoliosis (brace, implant or no treatment) in postero-anterior radiographs. Such automatic labelling of radiographs could represent a step to...
A robotic neck brace to characterize head-neck motion and muscle electromyography in subjects with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Annals of clinical and translational neurology
Aug 7, 2019
OBJECTIVE: This paper presents the first study where a dynamic neck brace was used to characterize the head motion of ALS patients while concurrently recording the surface electromyography (EMG) of the neck muscles.
Treadmill vs. overground walking: different response to physical interaction.
Journal of neurophysiology
Jul 12, 2017
Rehabilitation of human motor function is an issue of growing significance, and human-interactive robots offer promising potential to meet the need. For the lower extremity, however, robot-aided therapy has proven challenging. To inform effective app...
Measurement of Contact Behavior Including Slippage of Cuff When Using Wearable Physical Assistant Robot.
IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Aug 11, 2015
Continuous use of wearable robots can cause skin injuries beneath the cuffs of robots. To prevent such injuries, understanding the contact behavior of the cuff is important. Thus far, this contact behavior has not been studied because of the difficul...
Using swing resistance and assistance to improve gait symmetry in individuals post-stroke.
Human movement science
Jun 10, 2015
A major characteristic of hemiplegic gait observed in individuals post-stroke is spatial and temporal asymmetry, which may increase energy expenditure and the risk of falls. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of swing resistance/ass...
Evaluating the effectiveness of an active strap for wearable robot: A Mechanical and Physiological Study.
Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Jul 1, 2023
Straps are the most commonly used elements in the wearable robotic field, where it is employed as a physical human robot interface (pHRI) between the wearable robot and wearer's body. The main role of the strap is to transmit power from the robot to ...
Design and Preliminary Implementation of an Air Microfluidics Enabled Soft Robotic Knee Brace Towards the Management of Osteoarthritis.
Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Jul 1, 2020
A dynamic and low-profile unloader tibiofemoral knee brace is designed and prototyped by synergizing concepts from the fields of microfluidics and soft robotics. Microfluidics provides strategies for miniaturization and multiplexing while soft roboti...
