Assessment of an On-board Classifier for Activity Recognition on an Active Back-Support Exoskeleton.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Despite the growing interest, the adoption of industrial exoskeletons may still be held back by technical limitations. To enhance versatility and promote adoption, one aspect of interest could be represented by the potential of active and quasi-passi...

Design, Modelling, and Experimental Evaluation of a Compact Elastic Actuator for a Gait Assisting Exoskeleton.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
This paper presents a Transmissive Force Sensing Elastic Actuator (TFSEA) for exoskeleton applications. Exoskeletons can serve as orthotic or rehabilitative devices enabling people with paraplegia to walk. Several exoskeletons have been commercialize...

Gravity Compensation of an Exoskeleton Joint Using Constant-Force Springs.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Stroke is one of the leading causes of impairment in the world. Many of those who have suffered a stroke experience long-term loss of upper-limb function as a result. BLUE SABINO is an exoskeleton device being developed at the University of Idaho to ...

Assessment of human wrist rigidity and pain in post-traumatic patients.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
The aim of this work is to present a novel robot-based method to assess the sources of a lack of functionality in patients with recent traumatic wrist injuries. Post-traumatic patients experience limited range of motion as well as strength and propri...

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...

Clinical non-superiority of technology-assisted gait training with body weight support in patients with subacute stroke: A meta-analysis.

Annals of physical and rehabilitation medicine
BACKGROUND: Technology-assisted gait training (TAGT) with body weight support (BWS) has been designed to provide high numbers of repetitions during stepping practice, but its benefits have been inconclusive.

Accurate Ambulatory Gait Analysis in Walking and Running Using Machine Learning Models.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Wearable sensors have been proposed as alternatives to traditional laboratory equipment for low-cost and portable real-time gait analysis in unconstrained environments. However, the moderate accuracy of these systems currently limits their widespread...

Dynamic Modeling and Simulation of a Body Weight Support System.

Journal of healthcare engineering
This paper proposes a body weight support (BWS) system with a series elastic actuator (SEA) to facilitate walking assistance and motor relearning during gait rehabilitation. This system comprises the following: a mobile platform that ensures movement...

Robotic orthoses for gait rehabilitation: An overview of mechanical design and control strategies.

Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. Part H, Journal of engineering in medicine
The application of robotic devices in providing physiotherapies to post-stroke patients and people suffering from incomplete spinal cord injuries is rapidly expanding. It is crucial to provide valid rehabilitation for people who are experiencing abno...

GEARing smart environments for pediatric motor rehabilitation.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: There is a lack of early (infant) mobility rehabilitation approaches that incorporate natural and complex environments and have the potential to concurrently advance motor, cognitive, and social development. The Grounded Early Adaptive Re...
