LOPES II--Design and Evaluation of an Admittance Controlled Gait Training Robot With Shadow-Leg Approach.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Robotic gait training is gaining ground in rehabilitation. Room for improvement lies in reducing donning and doffing time, making training more task specific and facilitating active balance control, and by allowing movement in more degrees of freedom...

Deep Learning Technique for Automatic Segmentation of Proximal Hip Musculoskeletal Tissues From CT Scan Images: A MrOS Study.

Journal of cachexia, sarcopenia and muscle
BACKGROUND: Age-related conditions, such as osteoporosis and sarcopenia, alongside chronic diseases, can result in significant musculoskeletal tissue loss. This impacts individuals' quality of life and increases risk of falls and fractures. Computed ...

Hip Hiking Gait Improvement with Electrohydraulic Robotic Knee: Preliminary Results.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Individuals with Transfemoral Amputation (TFA) usually exhibit hip hiking walking with passive prostheses due to insufficient knee flexion. Powered knee prostheses can provide net-positive energy in the knee joint with improved gait symmetry. However...

Real-Time-Capable Muscle Force Estimation for Monitoring Robotic Rehabilitation Therapy in the Intensive Care Unit.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
In this paper, a method is proposed to enable real-time monitoring of muscle forces during robotic rehabilitation therapy in the ICU. This method is solely based on sensor information provided by the rehabilitation robot. In current clinical practice...

An Assistive Control Strategy for Rehabilitation Robots Using Velocity Field and Force Field.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
In this paper, we address the problem of assist-as-needed (AAN) control of rehabilitation robots. The objective is to develop a path tracking control scheme with the minimized intervention of the robot to gain active participation of impaired subject...

Improving Hip-Worn Accelerometer Estimates of Sitting Using Machine Learning Methods.

Medicine and science in sports and exercise
PURPOSE: This study aimed to improve estimates of sitting time from hip-worn accelerometers used in large cohort studies by using machine learning methods developed on free-living activPAL data.

Reducing Circumduction and Hip Hiking During Hemiparetic Walking Through Targeted Assistance of the Paretic Limb Using a Soft Robotic Exosuit.

American journal of physical medicine & rehabilitation
OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to evaluate the effects on common poststroke gait compensations of a soft wearable robot (exosuit) designed to assist the paretic limb during hemiparetic walking.

Kinematic effects of inertia and friction added by a robotic knee exoskeleton after prolonged walking.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
The capabilities of robotic gait assistive devices are ever increasing; however, their adoption outside of the lab is still limited. A critical barrier for the functionality of these devices are the still unknown mechanical properties of the human le...

Gastrocnemius myoelectric control of a robotic hip exoskeleton.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
In this paper we present a novel EMG-based assistive control strategy for lower-limb exoskeletons. An active pelvis orthosis (APO) generates torque profiles for the hip flexion motion assistance, according to the Gastrocnemius Medialis EMG signal. Th...
