Preliminary assessment of a lower-limb exoskeleton controller for guiding leg movement in overground walking.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
This paper describes the design, implementation, and preliminary validation of a controller for a powered lower-limb exoskeleton that reshapes a user's leg movement during over-ground walking. The intended application of the controller is to facilita...

Motor adaptation to lateral pelvis assistance force during treadmill walking in individuals post-stroke.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
The goal of this study was to determine how individuals post-stroke response to the lateral assistance force applied to the pelvis during treadmill walking. Ten individuals post chronic (> 6 months) stroke were recruited to participate in this study....

Toward goal-oriented robotic gait training: The effect of gait speed and stride length on lower extremity joint torques.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Robot-assisted gait training is becoming increasingly common to support recovery of walking function after neurological injury. How to formulate controllers capable of promoting desired features in gait, i.e. goals, is complicated by the limited unde...

Biomechanical effects of robot assisted walking on knee joint kinematics and muscle activation pattern.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Since manual rehabilitation therapy can be taxing for both the patient and the physiotherapist, a gait rehabilitation robot has been built to reduce the physical strain and increase the efficacy of the rehabilitation therapy. The prototype of the gai...

The effect of haptic interaction between balance assessment robot and pelvis on muscle activation of leg muscles.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Admittance control is considered as a promising paradigm in rehabilitation that provides us with means to establish well controlled and adjustable interaction and cooperation between rehabilitation devices and patients. Recently we developed balance ...

MIT-Skywalker: On the use of a markerless system.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
This paper describes our efforts to employ the Microsoft Kinect as a low cost vision control system for the MIT-Skywalker, a robotic gait rehabilitation device. The Kinect enables an alternative markerless solution to control the MIT-Skywalker and al...

Fast exoskeleton optimization.

Science (New York, N.Y.)
Scientists develop a method that optimizes exoskeleton assistance in one hour and teaches the wearer to walk more economically with it.

Robot-induced perturbations of human walking reveal a selective generation of motor adaptation.

Science robotics
The processes underlying the generation of motor adaptation in response to mechanical perturbations during human walking have been subject to debate. We used a robotic system to apply mechanical perturbations to step length and step height over conse...

[Robotic systems for gait re-education in cases of spinal cord injury: a systematic review].

Revista de neurologia
INTRODUCTION: The evidence underlying robotic body weight supported treadmill training in patients with spinal cord injury remains poorly characterized.

Development of Robotic Rollators and Walking Trolleys in Japan.

Studies in health technology and informatics
In Japan, several types of robotic rollators and walking trolleys have been developed with financial assistance from the Japanese government, and some of them have been commercialized in 2015 and 2016. In this paper, the specifications and features o...
