Gait Entrainment to Torque Pulses From a Hip Exoskeleton Robot.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Robot-aided locomotor rehabilitation has proven challenging. To facilitate progress, it is important to first understand the neuro-mechanical dynamics and control of unimpaired human locomotion. Our previous studies found that human gait entrained to...

Metabolically efficient walking assistance using optimized timed forces at the waist.

Science robotics
The metabolic rate of walking can be reduced by applying a constant forward force at the center of mass. It has been shown that the metabolically optimal constant force magnitude minimizes propulsion ground reaction force at the expense of increased ...

A Safe and Compliant Noncontact Interactive Approach for Wheeled Walking Aid Robot.

Computational intelligence and neuroscience
Aiming at promptly and accurately detecting falls and drag-to gaits induced by asynchronous human-robot movement speed during assisted walking, a noncontact interactive approach with generality, compliance and safety is proposed in this paper, and is...

Assessment of a novel deep learning-based marker-less motion capture system for gait study.

Gait & posture
BACKGROUND: Marker-less systems based on digital video cameras and deep learning for gait analysis could have a deep impact in clinical routine. A recently developed system has shown promising results in terms of joint center position but has not bee...

Overground robotic training effects on walking and secondary health conditions in individuals with spinal cord injury: systematic review.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
Overground powered lower limb exoskeletons (EXOs) have proven to be valid devices in gait rehabilitation in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). Although several articles have reported the effects of EXOs in these individuals, the few reviews a...

AI-enabled photonic smart garment for movement analysis.

Scientific reports
Smart textiles are novel solutions for remote healthcare monitoring which involve non-invasive sensors-integrated clothing. Polymer optical fiber (POF) sensors have attractive features for smart textile technology, and combined with Artificial Intell...

Immediate effects of hybrid assistive limb gait training on lower limb function in a chronic myelopathy patient with postoperative late neurological deterioration.

BMC research notes
OBJECTIVE: The Hybrid Assistive Limb (HAL) has recently been used to treat movement disorders. Although studies have shown its effectiveness for chronic myelopathy, the immediate effects of HAL gait training on lower limb function have not been clari...

Recognizing Continuous Multiple Degrees of Freedom Foot Movements With Inertial Sensors.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Recognition of continuous foot motions is important in robot-assisted lower limb rehabilitation, especially in prosthesis and exoskeleton design. For instance, perceiving foot motion is essential feedback for the robot controller. However, few studie...

Effects of the Robot-Assisted Gait Training Device Plus Physiotherapy in Improving Ambulatory Functions in Patients With Subacute Stroke With Hemiplegia: An Assessor-Blinded, Randomized Controlled Trial.

Archives of physical medicine and rehabilitation
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of the robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) device plus physiotherapy vs physiotherapy alone in improving ambulatory functions in patients with subacute stroke with hemiplegia.
