Introduction to a Twin Dual-Axis Robotic Platform for Studies of Lower Limb Biomechanics.

IEEE journal of translational engineering in health and medicine
This paper presents a twin dual-axis robotic platform system which is designed for the characterization of postural balance under various environmental conditions and quantification of bilateral ankle mechanics in 2 degrees-of-freedom (DOF) during st...

Hierarchical Optimization for Control of Robotic Knee Prostheses Toward Improved Symmetry of Propulsive Impulse.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
Automatically personalizing complex control of robotic prostheses to improve gait performance, such as gait symmetry, is challenging. Recently, human-in-the-loop (HIL) optimization and reinforcement learning (RL) have shown promise in achieving optim...

Effect of Robot-Assisted Gait Training on Multiple Sclerosis: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.

Neurorehabilitation and neural repair
BACKGROUND: In recent meta-analyses, robot-assisted gait training for patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) have yielded limited clinical benefits compared with conventional overground gait training.

Dynamic turning and running of a hexapod robot using a separated and laterally arranged two-leg model.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
We report on the development of separated and laterally arranged two-leg (SLTL) models with/without differentiated leg properties and their use as the dynamic running and turning templates for a hexapod robot. The laterally arranged two-leg morpholog...

Robust and reusable self-organized locomotion of legged robots under adaptive physical and neural communications.

Frontiers in neural circuits
INTRODUCTION: Animals such as cattle can achieve versatile and elegant behaviors through automatic sensorimotor coordination. Their self-organized movements convey an impression of adaptability, robustness, and motor memory. However, the adaptive mec...

Effects of robot-assisted gait training on cardiopulmonary function and lower extremity strength in individuals with spinal cord injury: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

The journal of spinal cord medicine
CONTEXT: Robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) has been increasingly adopted in many rehabilitation facilities for walking function and activity in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). However, the effectiveness of RAGT on lower extremity strengt...

A Deep Learning Model for 3D Ground Reaction Force Estimation Using Shoes with Three Uniaxial Load Cells.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Ground reaction force (GRF) is essential for estimating muscle strength and joint torque in inverse dynamic analysis. Typically, it is measured using a force plate. However, force plates have spatial limitations, and studies of gaits involve numerous...

Development of a comfort suit-type soft-wearable robot with flexible artificial muscles for walking assistance.

Scientific reports
Anchoring components are added to wearable robots to ensure a stable interaction between the suits and the human body and to minimize the displacement of the suits. However, these components can apply pressure to the body and can cause user dissatisf...

The effect of robot-assisted walking in different modalities on cardiorespiratory responses and energy consumption in patients with subacute stroke.

Neurological research
OBJECTIVES: The aim of our study was to evaluate the effect of robot-assisted walking in different modalities on cardiorespiratory responses and energy consumption in subacute stroke patients.

Effect of gait distance during robot training on walking independence after acute brain injury.

Assistive technology : the official journal of RESNA
This study aimed to determine whether the distance of gait training using a hybrid assistive limb (HAL) is related to the improvement of walking independence in patients with acute brain injury. This was an exploratory, observational study. Thirty pa...
