In rehabilitation robotics, optimizing energy consumption and high interaction forces is essential to prevent unnecessary muscle fatigue and excessive joint loading as they often cause an inefficient trajectory planning and disrupt natural movement p...
INTRODUCTION: Robotic technologies have been developed for motor rehabilitation and such robots have shown favourable results when compared with equivalent doses of usual clinical therapy. Recently, robotic interventions have been suggested to be app...

The flexor synergy after stroke results in involuntary activation of distal muscles when lifting the shoulder against gravity. This contributes to impaired ability to perform activities of daily living. Robotic exoskeletons can be useful in assessing...
The global aging trend is becoming increasingly severe, and the demand for life assistance and medical rehabilitation for frail and disabled elderly people is growing. As the best solution for assisting limb movement, guiding limb rehabilitation, and...

BACKGROUND: Hemiplegic gait after a stroke can result in a decreased gait speed and asymmetrical gait pattern. Normal gait patterns and speed are typically the ultimate goals of gait function in stroke rehabilitation. The purpose of this study was to...
BACKGROUND: Lower limb exoskeleton rehabilitation robot is a new technology to improve the lower limb motor function of stroke patients. Recovery of motor function after stroke is closely related to neuroplasticity in the motor cortex and associated ...
Despite remarkable progress in robotic exoskeletons, exoskeletons are still far from matching human-level guidance and locomotion performance in gait training or movement enhancement. A desirable exoskeleton would first provide a standard gait profil...
