Mechanical assistance on joint movement is generally beneficial; however, its effects on cooperative performance and muscle activity needs to be further explored. This study examined how motor performance and muscle activity are altered when mechanic...
This paper presents a human-mimetic manipulator capable of shock absorption by using dislocation at the soft joint. A one degree-of-freedom (DOF) soft robot joint was developed based on the human elbow-joint structure, especially mimicking the humero...
PURPOSE: Early intervention is effective for developing motor ability and preventing contractures and deformities in patients with cerebral palsy (CP). Gait training using the newly developed Hybrid Assistive Limb (HAL) shows promise as an interventi...
Robotic exoskeletons that induce leg movement have proven effective for lower body rehabilitation, but current solutions offer limited gait patterns, lack stabilization, and do not properly stimulate the proprioceptive and balance systems (since the ...
This article presents the system integration, sensing, and control of a novel modular soft-rigid pneumatic exoskeleton for lower limb. The proposed exoskeleton consists of three soft hinges (to drive the hip, knee, and ankle joints) and four rigid li...
The complicated interplay of total knee replacement (TKR) positioning and patient-specific soft tissue conditions still causes a considerable number of unsatisfactory outcomes. Therefore, we deployed a robot-assisted test method, in which a six-axis ...

OBJECTIVE: This paper presents the first study where a dynamic neck brace was used to characterize the head motion of ALS patients while concurrently recording the surface electromyography (EMG) of the neck muscles.
BACKGROUND: Tracking patient-generated health data (PGHD) following total joint arthroplasty (TJA) may enable data-driven early intervention to improve clinical results. We aim to demonstrate the feasibility of combining machine learning (ML) with PG...
