Development of a "transparent operation mode" for a lower-limb exoskeleton designed for children with cerebral palsy.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Robot-assisted rehabilitation in children and young adults with Cerebral Palsy (CP) is expected to lead to neuroplasticity and reduce the burden of motor impairments. For a lower-limb exoskeleton to perform well in this context, it is essential that ...

Simulation on the Effect of Gait Variability, Delays, and Inertia with Respect to Wearer Energy Savings with Exoskeleton Assistance.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Exoskeletons are human-robot interfaces that have enormous potential to assist people with everyday tasks. To improve the design of exoskeletons for use in clinical populations, it is important to further our understanding of how exoskeleton design a...

Bio-inspired design and validation of the Efficient Lockable Spring Ankle (ELSA) prosthesis.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Over the last decade, active lower-limb prostheses demonstrated their ability to restore a physiological gait for transfemoral amputees by supplying the required positive energy balance during daily life locomotion activities. However, the added-valu...

A Model-Based Method for Minimizing Reflected Motor Inertia in Off-board Actuation Systems: Applications in Exoskeleton Design.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
The research and development of wearable robotic devices has been accelerated by off-board control and actuation systems. While off-board robotic actuation systems provide many benefits, the impedance at the robotic joint is often high. High joint im...

Design, Modelling, and Experimental Evaluation of a Compact Elastic Actuator for a Gait Assisting Exoskeleton.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
This paper presents a Transmissive Force Sensing Elastic Actuator (TFSEA) for exoskeleton applications. Exoskeletons can serve as orthotic or rehabilitative devices enabling people with paraplegia to walk. Several exoskeletons have been commercialize...

A Human-assistive Robotic Platform with Quadrupedal Locomotion.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Mobility impairment is becoming a challenging issue around the world with a rapid increase on aging population. Existing tools of walking assistance for mobility-impaired people include passive canes or wheeled rollators which increase energy consump...

Immediate Effects of Force Feedback and Plantar Somatosensory Stimuli on Inter-limb Coordination During Perturbed Walking.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Single-sided motor weakness, also known as hemiparesis, is the most prevalent gait impairment among stroke survivors, which often results in gait asymmetry. Studies on robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) have shown positive effects of force feedback ...

A Comprehensive Analysis of Sensorimotor Mechanisms of Inter-Leg Coordination in Gait Using the Variable Stiffness Treadmill: Physiological Insights for Improved Robot-Assisted Gait Therapy.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Rehabilitation robotics is an emerging field in which gait training has been largely automated allowing more intensive, repetitive motions which are important for facilitating recovery. However, there is no clear evidence that robot-assisted gait tra...

Robot-assisted locomotor training did not improve walking function in patients with chronic incomplete spinal cord injury: A randomized clinical trial.

Journal of rehabilitation medicine
OBJECTIVE: To assess the effects of robot-assisted locomotor training in patients with chronic incomplete spinal cord injury.

Comparative Effects of Different Assistance Force During Robot-Assisted Gait Training on Locomotor Functions in Patients With Subacute Stroke: An Assessor-Blind, Randomized Controlled Trial.

American journal of physical medicine & rehabilitation
OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to compare the effects of progressive reducing assistance force versus full assistance force controlled robot-assisted gait training combined with conventional physiotherapy on locomotor functions in patients with ...
