OpenExo: An open-source modular exoskeleton to augment human function.

Science robotics
Although the field of wearable robotic exoskeletons is rapidly expanding, there are several barriers to entry that discourage many from pursuing research in this area, ultimately hindering growth. Chief among these is the lengthy and costly developme...

Upper limb human-exoskeleton system motion state classification based on semg: application of CNN-BiLSTM-attention model.

Scientific reports
This study aims to classify five typical motion states of the human upper limb based on surface electromyography signals, thereby supporting the real-time control system of an assistive upper limb exoskeleton. We propose a deep learning model combini...

Reinforcement Learning-Driven Path Generation for Ankle Rehabilitation Robot Using Musculoskeletal-Informed Energy Optimization.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
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...

Development and Validation of the Novel Exergame-Integrated Robotic Stepper Device for Seated Lower Limb Rehabilitation.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Seated rehabilitation is essential in early-stage recovery for patients who can sit but cannot stand or walk. Robotic-based lower limb rehabilitation provides precise, task-specific training for recovery, but its application in seated exercises remai...

Effects of exoskeleton rehabilitation robot training on neuroplasticity and lower limb motor function in patients with stroke.

BMC neurology
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 ...

Performance Evaluation of Monocular Markerless Pose Estimation Systems for Industrial Exoskeletons.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Industrial exoskeletons (a.k.a. wearable robots) have been developed to reduce musculoskeletal fatigue and work injuries. Human joint kinematics and human-robot alignment are important measurements in understanding the effects of industrial exoskelet...

Flexor Synergy Assessment and Therapy for Persons With Stroke Using the ULIX Low Impedance Robot.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
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...

Single Joint Hybrid Assistive Limb (HAL-SJ) robotic exoskeleton therapy in improving functional outcomes among workers with wrist fractures: Study protocol for a randomized controlled trial.

PloS one
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...

Multicontact Safety-Critical Planning and Adaptive Neural Control of a Soft Exosuit Over Different Terrains.

IEEE transactions on cybernetics
Many previous works on wearable soft exosuits have primarily focused on assisting human motion, while overlooking safety concerns during movement. This article introduces a novel single-motor, altering bi-directional transfer soft exosuit based on im...

A wearable ankle-assisted robot for improving gait function and pattern in stroke patients.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
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...
