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...
Gait speed using powered robotic exoskeletons after spinal cord injury: a systematic review and correlational study.
Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
Oct 14, 2015
Powered robotic exoskeletons are an emerging technology of wearable orthoses that can be used as an assistive device to enable non-ambulatory individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) to walk, or as a rehabilitation tool to improve walking ability in...
Feasibility study into self-administered training at home using an arm and hand device with motivational gaming environment in chronic stroke.
Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
Oct 9, 2015
BACKGROUND: Assistive and robotic training devices are increasingly used for rehabilitation of the hemiparetic arm after stroke, although applications for the wrist and hand are trailing behind. Furthermore, applying a training device in domestic set...

"Body-In-The-Loop": Optimizing Device Parameters Using Measures of Instantaneous Energetic Cost.
PloS one
Aug 19, 2015
This paper demonstrates methods for the online optimization of assistive robotic devices such as powered prostheses, orthoses and exoskeletons. Our algorithms estimate the value of a physiological objective in real-time (with a body "in-the-loop") an...
Combined Clinic-Home Approach for Upper Limb Robotic Therapy After Stroke: A Pilot Study.
Archives of physical medicine and rehabilitation
Jul 17, 2015
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the feasibility of a combined clinic-home intervention using a robotic elbow brace and, secondarily, to collect preliminary data on the efficacy of this clinic-home intervention.
An experimental comparison of the relative benefits of work and torque assistance in ankle exoskeletons.
Journal of applied physiology (Bethesda, Md. : 1985)
Jul 9, 2015
Techniques proposed for assisting locomotion with exoskeletons have often included a combination of active work input and passive torque support, but the physiological effects of different assistance techniques remain unclear. We performed an experim...
What is it like to walk with the help of a robot? Children's perspectives on robotic gait training technology.
Disability and rehabilitation
Apr 9, 2015
PURPOSE: Robotic gait training is an emerging intervention that holds great therapeutic promise in the rehabilitation of children with neuromotor disorders such as cerebral palsy (CP). Little is known about children and parents' views on this new tec...
An EMG-Controlled Robotic Hand Exoskeleton for Bilateral Rehabilitation.
IEEE transactions on haptics
Mar 30, 2015
This paper presents a novel electromyography (EMG)-driven hand exoskeleton for bilateral rehabilitation of grasping in stroke. The developed hand exoskeleton was designed with two distinctive features: (a) kinematics with intrinsic adaptability to pa...
Human experts' and a fuzzy model's predictions of outcomes of scoliosis treatment: a comparative analysis.
IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
Dec 4, 2014
Brace treatment is the most commonly used nonsurgical treatment for adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis. However, brace treatment is not always successful and the factors influencing its success are not completely clear. This makes treatment outcom...
Uphill walking with a simple exoskeleton: plantarflexion assistance leads to proximal adaptations.
Gait & posture
Oct 23, 2014
While level walking with a pneumatic ankle-foot exoskeleton is studied extensively, less is known on uphill walking. The goals of this study were to get a better understanding of the biomechanical adaptations and the influence of actuation timing on ...
