BACKGROUND: Augmented physical training with assistance from robot and neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) may introduce intensive motor improvement in chronic stroke.
PURPOSE: Distal radius (wrist) and supracondylar (elbow) fractures are common in children presenting to Pediatric Emergency Departments (EDs). These fractures are treated conservatively or surgically depending on deformity severity. Radiographs are t...
A passive exoskeleton is a wearable robotic device that is worn on the exterior of the user's body to provide physical support and facilitate movement. Existing elbow passive exoskeletons have limitations in their assistance capabilities and range of...
