OBJECTIVE: This study investigated the effectiveness of wearable robot-assisted gait training compared to treadmill gait training for improving balance and walking ability in stroke patients.
Although legged robots have demonstrated effective mobility in some natural settings, as robot size decreases, obstacles in their environment become challenging to overcome. Small arthropods scale obstacles many times their size through jumps powered...
The application of lower-limb exoskeleton robots in rehabilitation is becoming more prevalent, where the precision of control and the speed of response are essential for effective movement tracking. This study tackles the challenge of optimizing both...
The safety of pedestrians in urban transportation systems has emerged as a significant research topic. As a vulnerable group within this transportation framework, pedestrians encounter heightened safety risks in complex urban road environments. Prote...

This study presents a novel wearable solution integrating Polymer Optical Fiber (POF) sensors into a knee sleeve to monitor knee flexion/extension (F/E) patterns during walking. POF sensors offer advantages such as flexibility, light weight, and robu...
The hydraulic-driven lower limb exoskeleton robot (HDLLER) can provide excellent assistance during human walking. However, complex torque coupling disturbances exist between each joint, negatively impacting the precise torque tracking of each joint c...
BACKGROUND: Inter-segment joint angles can be obtained from inertial measurement units (IMUs); however, accurate 3D joint motion measurement, which requires sensor fusion and signal processing, sensor alignment with segments and joint axis calibratio...
The quantitative evaluation of motor function in experimental stroke models is essential for the preclinical assessment of new therapeutic strategies that can be transferred to clinical research; however, conventional assessment tests are hampered by...
