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
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...

Development of a Robotic Unloader Brace for Investigation of Conservative Treatment of Medial Knee Osteoarthritis.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a painful and debilitating condition that is associated with mechanical loading of the knee joint. Numerous conservative treatment strategies have been developed to delay time to total joint replacement. Unloader braces a...

Non-invasive brain stimulation and robot-assisted gait training after incomplete spinal cord injury: A randomized pilot study.

NeuroRehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Locomotor training with a robot-assisted gait orthosis (LT-RGO) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) are interventions that can significantly enhance motor performance after spinal cord injury (SCI). No studies have investig...
