A biologically-inspired multi-joint soft exosuit that can reduce the energy cost of loaded walking.
Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
May 12, 2016
BACKGROUND: Carrying load alters normal walking, imposes additional stress to the musculoskeletal system, and results in an increase in energy consumption and a consequent earlier onset of fatigue. This phenomenon is largely due to increased work req...
State of the Art and Future Directions for Lower Limb Robotic Exoskeletons.
IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Jan 27, 2016
Research on robotic exoskeletons has rapidly expanded over the previous decade. Advances in robotic hardware and energy supplies have enabled viable prototypes for human testing. This review paper describes current lower limb robotic exoskeletons, wi...
Running With an Elastic Lower Limb Exoskeleton.
Journal of applied biomechanics
Dec 22, 2015
Although there have been many lower limb robotic exoskeletons that have been tested for human walking, few devices have been tested for assisting running. It is possible that a pseudo-passive elastic exoskeleton could benefit human running without th...
Quantifying saphenous recirculation in patients with primary lower extremity venous reflux.
Journal of vascular surgery. Venous and lymphatic disorders
Nov 24, 2015
BACKGROUND: The great saphenous vein (GSV) in patients with superficial venous insufficiency might act as a beneficial conduit for antegrade venous drainage and also as a harmful conduit for promotion of reflux and/or recirculation and subsequent ski...
A Neural Network-Based Gait Phase Classification Method Using Sensors Equipped on Lower Limb Exoskeleton Robots.
Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Oct 30, 2015
An exact classification of different gait phases is essential to enable the control of exoskeleton robots and detect the intentions of users. We propose a gait phase classification method based on neural networks using sensor signals from lower limb ...
Spinal plasticity in robot-mediated therapy for the lower limbs.
Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
Sep 17, 2015
Robot-mediated therapy can help improve walking ability in patients following injuries to the central nervous system. However, the efficacy of this treatment varies between patients, and evidence for the mechanisms underlying functional improvements ...
Single-bundle ACL reconstruction with and without extra-articular reconstruction: evaluation with robotic lower leg rotation testing and patient satisfaction scores.
Knee surgery, sports traumatology, arthroscopy : official journal of the ESSKA
Sep 4, 2015
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to compare the biomechanical characteristics and patient outcomes after either isolated intraarticular ACL reconstruction or intraarticular reconstruction with lateral extra-articular tenodesis. In addition, we ...
Simulation-Based Design for Wearable Robotic Systems: An Optimization Framework for Enhancing a Standing Long Jump.
IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
Jul 30, 2015
GOAL: Technologies that augment human performance are the focus of intensive research and development, driven by advances in wearable robotic systems. Success has been limited by the challenge of understanding human-robot interaction. To address this...
The H2 robotic exoskeleton for gait rehabilitation after stroke: early findings from a clinical study.
Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
Jun 17, 2015
BACKGROUND: Stroke significantly affects thousands of individuals annually, leading to considerable physical impairment and functional disability. Gait is one of the most important activities of daily living affected in stroke survivors. Recent techn...
An assistive control approach for a lower-limb exoskeleton to facilitate recovery of walking following stroke.
IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Aug 12, 2014
This paper presents a control approach for a lower-limb exoskeleton intended to facilitate recovery of walking in individuals with lower-extremity hemiparesis after stroke. The authors hypothesize that such recovery is facilitated by allowing the pat...
