Rehabilitation training for patients with motor disabilities usually requires specialized devices in rehabilitation centers. Home-based multi-purpose training would significantly increase treatment accessibility and reduce medical costs. While it is ...
Identification of muscle-tendon force generation properties and muscle activities from physiological measurements, e.g., motion data and raw surface electromyography (sEMG), offers opportunities to construct a subject-specific musculoskeletal (MSK) d...
Accurate and reliable information about three-dimensional (3D) knee joint laxity can prevent misdiagnosis and avoid incorrect treatments. Nevertheless, knee laxity assessments presented in the literature suffer from significant drawbacks such as soft...

In this study, a patient in the Intensive Care-Unit received robot-based mobilization therapy with an assist-as-needed (AAN) function over the course of three weeks. Therapists were able to adapt the hip range of motion $\beta$, the bed verticalizati...
To investigate the feasibility and the clinical efficiency of robot navigation combined with wrist arthroscopy in minimally invasive treatment of nondisplaced type Herbert D1 scaphoid fracture. A retrospective analysis was performed on 9 patients who...

BACKGROUND: Upper-limb rehabilitation robots have become an important piece of equipment in stroke rehabilitation. The design of exoskeleton mechanisms plays a key role to improve human-robot interface in the upper-limb movements under passive and ac...
This study investigated changes of gait pattern induced by a 4-week robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) in twelve ambulatory spastic diparesis children with cerebral palsy (CP) aged 10.4+/-3.2 years old by using computerized gait analysis (CGA). Pre-...
