UNLABELLED: Using wearable robotics to modulate step width in normal walking for enhanced mediolateral balance has not been demonstrated in the field. We designed a bilateral hip exoskeleton with admittance control to power hip abduction and adductio...
In rehabilitation medicine, real-time analysis of the gait for human wearing lower-limb exoskeleton rehabilitation robot during walking can effectively prevent patients from experiencing excessive and asymmetric gait during rehabilitation training, t...
Accuracy validation of gait analysis using pose estimation with artificial intelligence (AI) remains inadequate, particularly in objective assessments of absolute error and similarity of waveform patterns. This study aimed to clarify objective measur...

Measuring center-of-pressure (COP) trajectories in out-of-the-lab environments may provide valuable information about changes in gait and balance function related to natural disease progression or treatment in neurological disorders. Traditional equi...
A flexible spine is critical to the motion capability of most animals and plays a pivotal role in their agility. Although state-of-the-art legged robots have already achieved very dynamic and agile movement solely relying on their legs, they still ex...

BACKGROUND: In the recent past, wearable devices have been used for gait rehabilitation in patients with Parkinson's disease. The objective of this paper is to analyze the outcome of a wearable hip orthosis whose assistance adapts in real time to the...
Body weight unloading (BWU) is used in rehabilitation/training settings to reduce kinetic requirements, however different BWU methods may be unequally capable of preserving biomechanical movement patterns. Biomechanical analysis of both kinetic and k...
