Design, characterisation and evaluation of a soft robotic sock device on healthy subjects for assisted ankle rehabilitation.

Journal of medical engineering & technology Dec 19, 2017
Motor impairment is one of the common neurological conditions suffered by stroke patients, where this chronic immobility together with the absence of early limb mobilisation can lead to conditions such as joint contracture with spastic limbs. In this...

Development and reliability of a measure evaluating dynamic proprioception during walking with a robotized ankle-foot orthosis, and its relation to dynamic postural control.

Gait & posture Jul 15, 2016
BACKGROUND: Proprioception is important for proper motor control. As the central nervous system modulates how sensory information is processed during movement (sensory gating), proprioceptive tests performed at rest do not correlate well with perform...

Optimized Design of a Variable Viscosity Link for Robotic AFO.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference Jul 1, 2019
Herein we present the development of a novel Ankle Foot Orthosis for gait support of people with foot-drop symptoms. The developed AFO uses an elastic link mechanism to brake the ankle joint during initial contact, thus mitigating foot-slap, and an i...

Immediate Effects of Force Feedback and Plantar Somatosensory Stimuli on Inter-limb Coordination During Perturbed Walking.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings] Jun 1, 2019
Single-sided motor weakness, also known as hemiparesis, is the most prevalent gait impairment among stroke survivors, which often results in gait asymmetry. Studies on robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) have shown positive effects of force feedback ...

Pedbothome: Robotically-Assisted Ankle Rehabilitation System For Children With Cerebral Palsy.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings] Jun 1, 2019
Our research team has developed two versions of an ankle robot for children with cerebral palsy. Both devices provide three degrees of freedom and are connected to an airplane video game. The child uses his/her foot as the controller for the plane an...

Design and experimental evaluation of a lightweight, high-torque and compliant actuator for an active ankle foot orthosis.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings] Jul 1, 2017
The human ankle joint plays a crucial role during walking. At the push-off phase the ankle plantarflexors generate the highest torque among the lower limb joints during this activity. The potential of the ankle plantarflexors is affected by numerous ...

Design of a quasi-passive 3 DOFs ankle-foot wearable rehabilitation orthosis.

Bio-medical materials and engineering Jan 1, 2015
Muscular rigidity and atrophy caused by long-term underactivity usually lead to foot drop, strephenopodia, foot extorsion or some other complications for the lower limb movement disorders or lower limb surgery sufferers. The ankle-foot orthosis can h...
