A Soft Robotic Sleeve for Compression Therapy of the Lower Limb.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
'We present the development of a soft robotic-inspired device for lower limb compression therapy with application in the treatment of lymphedema. This device integrates the control capabilities of pneumatic devices with the wearability and low cost o...

Channel Synergy-based Human-Robot Interface for a Lower Limb Walking Assistance Exoskeleton.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
The human-robot interface (HRI) based on surface electromyography(sEMG) can realize the natural interaction between human and robot. It has been widely used in exoskeleton robots recently to help predict the wearer's movement. The sEMG signal of the ...

[Optimal lower limb alignment and soft tissue balancing strategy for robot-assisted total knee arthroplasty].

Zhongguo xiu fu chong jian wai ke za zhi = Zhongguo xiufu chongjian waike zazhi = Chinese journal of reparative and reconstructive surgery
Lower limb alignment and soft tissue balance are important factors affecting patient satisfaction, clinical functional outcome, and prosthetic long-term survival rate after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Robot-assisted TKA (rTKA) has the advantages o...

Robotic-assisted locomotor treadmill therapy does not change gait pattern in children with cerebral palsy.

International journal of rehabilitation research. Internationale Zeitschrift fur Rehabilitationsforschung. Revue internationale de recherches de readaptation
Although robotic-assisted locomotor treadmill therapy is utilized on children with cerebral palsy (CP), its impact on the gait pattern in childhood is not fully described. We investigated the outcome of robotized gait training focusing on the gait pa...

Lower limb rehabilitation robotics: The current understanding and technology.

Work (Reading, Mass.)
BACKGROUND: With the increasing rate of ambulatory disabilities and rise in the elderly population, advance methods to deliver the rehabilitation and assistive services to patients have become important. Lower limb robotic therapeutic and assistive a...

Design and Validation of a Lower-Limb Haptic Rehabilitation Robot.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Present robots for investigating lower-limb motor control and rehabilitation focus on gait training. An alternative approach is to focus on restoring precursor abilities such as motor adaptation and volitional movement, as is common in upper-limb rob...

[Rehabilitation of traumatic spinal cord injury with lower limb exoskeleton].

Orvosi hetilap
In recent years, several technological innovations have emerged to improve the rehabilitation of traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI). Among them, robotic orthosis, also known as human exoskeletons, are prominent devices for lower limb therapy. Since t...

Design of the Clutched Variable Parallel Elastic Actuator (CVPEA) for Lower Limb Exoskeletons.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
The paper presents a novel clutched variable parallel elastic actuator (CVPEA) mainly consisting of a motor and a flat spiral spring in parallel to actuate the hip of lower limb exoskeletons in sagittal plane. To minimize the power and torque require...

Prediction of Plantar Forces During Gait Using Wearable Sensors and Deep Neural Networks.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
To enable on-time and high-fidelity lower-limb exoskeleton control, it is effective to predict the future human motion from the observed status. In this research, we propose a novel method to predict future plantar force during the gait using IMU and...
