Reaching and maintaining high walking speeds is challenging for a human when carrying extra weight, such as walking with a heavy backpack. Robotic limbs can support a heavy backpack when standing still, but accelerating a backpack within a couple of ...
Weight-bearing exoskeletons are robots that need to carry loads and interact with humans frequently. Therefore, the actuators of these exoskeletons are supposed to be capable of outputting sufficient force with high compliance and little weight. A se...
PURPOSE: Previous studies evaluating hindfoot and knee alignment have suggested compensation between the knee and the hindfoot deformities. However, these studies did not investigate the influence of the orientation of the subtalar axis on the result...
BACKGROUND: Detection of Lisfranc malalignment leading to the instability of the joint, particularly in subtle cases, has been a concern for foot and ankle care providers. X-ray radiographs are the mainstay in the diagnosis of these injuries; thus, i...
Angle measurement methods for measuring pes planus may lose consistency by errors between observers. If the feature points for angle measurement can be provided in advance with the algorithm developed through the deep learning method, it is thought t...
BACKGROUND: After a total hip arthroplasty (THA), standing and walking balance are greatly affected in the early stages of recovery, so it is important to increase the weight-bearing amount (WBA) on the operated side. Sometimes, traditional treatment...
Owing to their compliance, soft robots demonstrate enhanced compatibility with humans and the environment compared with traditional rigid robots. However, ensuring the working effectiveness of artificial muscles that actuate soft robots in confined s...

PURPOSE: Delayed diagnosis of syndesmosis instability can lead to significant morbidity and accelerated arthritic change in the ankle joint. Weight-bearing computed tomography (WBCT) has shown promising potential for early and reliable detection of i...
The advent of variable stiffness soft robotic grippers furnishes a conduit for exploration and manipulation within uncharted, non-structured environments. The paper provides a comprehensive review of the necessary technologies for the configuration d...
Musculoskeletal models have indispensable applications in occupational risk assessment/management and clinical treatment/rehabilitation programs. To estimate muscle forces and joint loads, these models require body posture during the activity under c...
