This research introduces a novel, highly precise, and learning-free approach to locomotion mode prediction, a technique with potential for broad applications in the field of lower-limb wearable robotics. This study represents the pioneering effort to...
Lower extremity lymphedema (LEL) is a common complication after gynecological cancer treatment, which significantly reduces the quality of life. While early diagnosis and intervention can prevent severe complications, there is currently no consensus ...
During clinical evaluation of patients and planning orthopedic treatments, the periodic assessment of lower limb alignment is critical. Currently, physicians use physical tools and radiographs to directly observe limb alignment. However, this process...

BACKGROUND: Soft robotic exosuits can provide partial dorsiflexor and plantarflexor support in parallel with paretic muscles to improve poststroke walking capacity. Previous results indicate that baseline walking ability may impact a user's ability t...
Real world settings are seldomly just composed of level surfaces and stairs are frequently encountered in daily life. Unfortunately, ~ 90% of the elderly population use some sort of compensation pattern in order to negotiate stairs. Because the biome...
