Theory of Fast Walking With Human-Driven Load-Carrying Robot Exoskeletons.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Reaching and maintaining high walking speeds is challenging for a human when carrying extra weight, such as walking with a heavy backpack. Robotic limbs can support a heavy backpack when standing still, but accelerating a backpack within a couple of ...

Reducing the energy cost of walking with low assistance levels through optimized hip flexion assistance from a soft exosuit.

Scientific reports
As we age, humans see natural decreases in muscle force and power which leads to a slower, less efficient gait. Improving mobility for both healthy individuals and those with muscle impairments/weakness has been a goal for exoskeleton designers for d...

Force and Torque Characterization in the Actuation of a Walking-Assistance, Cable-Driven Exosuit.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Soft exosuits stand out when it comes to the development of walking-assistance devices thanks to both their higher degree of wearability, lower weight, and price compared to the bulkier equivalent rigid exoskeletons. In cable-driven exosuits, the act...

Decoding neural activity preceding balance loss during standing with a lower-limb exoskeleton using an interpretable deep learning model.

Journal of neural engineering
Falls are a leading cause of death in adults 65 and older. Recent efforts to restore lower-limb function in these populations have seen an increase in the use of wearable robotic systems; however, fall prevention measures in these systems require ear...

Characterization and Evaluation of Human-Exoskeleton Interaction Dynamics: A Review.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Exoskeletons and exosuits have witnessed unprecedented growth in recent years, especially in the medical and industrial sectors. In order to be successfully integrated into the current society, these devices must comply with several commercialization...

Robustness and Tracking Performance Evaluation of PID Motion Control of 7 DoF Anthropomorphic Exoskeleton Robot Assisted Upper Limb Rehabilitation.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Upper limb dysfunctions (ULD) are common following a stroke. Annually, more than 15 million people suffer a stroke worldwide. We have developed a 7 degrees of freedom (DoF) exoskeleton robot named the smart robotic exoskeleton () to provide upper lim...

Architectural design and development of an upper-limb rehabilitation device: a modular synthesis approach.

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
PURPOSE: Enormous assistance is required during rehabilitation activities, which might result in a variety of complications if performed manually. To solve this issue, several solutions in the form of assistive devices have been presented recently. A...

Design of a control framework for lower limb exoskeleton rehabilitation robot based on predictive assessment.

Clinical biomechanics (Bristol, Avon)
BACKGROUND: Patients suffering from lower limb dyskinesia, especially in early stages of rehabilitation, have weak residual muscle strength in affected limb and require passive training by the lower limb rehabilitation robot. Anatomy indicates that t...
