A portable inflatable soft wearable robot to assist the shoulder during industrial work.

Science robotics
Repetitive overhead tasks during factory work can cause shoulder injuries resulting in impaired health and productivity loss. Soft wearable upper extremity robots have the potential to be effective injury prevention tools with minimal restrictions us...

Experiment-free exoskeleton assistance via learning in simulation.

Nature
Exoskeletons have enormous potential to improve human locomotive performance. However, their development and broad dissemination are limited by the requirement for lengthy human tests and handcrafted control laws. Here we show an experiment-free meth...

Exoskeleton rehabilitation robot training for balance and lower limb function in sub-acute stroke patients: a pilot, randomized controlled trial.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
PURPOSE: This pilot study aimed to investigate the effects of REX exoskeleton rehabilitation robot training on the balance and lower limb function in patients with sub-acute stroke.

Adaptive neural fault-tolerant prescribed performance control of a rehabilitation exoskeleton for lower limb passive training.

ISA transactions
This article studies the passive tracking problem of a wearable exoskeleton for lower limb rehabilitation therapy in the face of unmodeled dynamics, interactive friction, disturbance, prescribed performance constraints, and actuator faults. Adaptive ...

Multivariate analysis of the kinematics of an upper limb rehabilitation robot.

Acta of bioengineering and biomechanics
The purpose of this work is to present a multivariate analysis of the kinematics of an upper limb rehabilitation robot. Comparing multiple concepts of kinematic chains makes it possible to identify advantages and disadvantages and, as a consequence,...

Exploring Human-Exoskeleton Interaction Dynamics: An In-Depth Analysis of Knee Flexion-Extension Performance across Varied Robot Assistance-Resistance Configurations.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Knee rehabilitation therapy after trauma or neuromotor diseases is fundamental to restore the joint functions as best as possible, exoskeleton robots being an important resource in this context, since they optimize therapy by applying tailored forces...

A six degrees-of-freedom cable-driven robotic platform for head-neck movement.

Scientific reports
This paper introduces a novel cable-driven robotic platform that enables six degrees-of-freedom (DoF) natural head-neck movements. Poor postural control of the head-neck can be a debilitating symptom of neurological disorders such as amyotrophic late...

Robotic assisted and exoskeleton gait training effect in mental health and fatigue of multiple sclerosis patients. A systematic review and a meta-analysis.

Disability and rehabilitation
PURPOSE: Robotic and Exoskeleton Assisted Gait Training (REAGT) has become the mainstream gait training module. Studies are investigating the psychosocial effects of REAGT mostly as secondary outcomes. Our systematic review and meta-analysis aims to ...

A Comprehensive Review: Robot-Assisted Treatments for Gait Rehabilitation in Stroke Patients.

Medicina (Kaunas, Lithuania)
Robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) is at the cutting edge of stroke rehabilitation, offering a groundbreaking method to improve motor recovery and enhance the quality of life for stroke survivors. This review investigates the effectiveness and appli...

Brain-machine interface based on deep learning to control asynchronously a lower-limb robotic exoskeleton: a case-of-study.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: This research focused on the development of a motor imagery (MI) based brain-machine interface (BMI) using deep learning algorithms to control a lower-limb robotic exoskeleton. The study aimed to overcome the limitations of traditional BM...
