Mechanism Structure Synthesis, Kinematic and Dynamic Analysis of Hip Exoskeleton Robots with the Misalignment Compensation

open access: yes
Exoskeleton robots offer considerable potential for improving human performance, like walking, running, and ascending or descending stairs. However, misalignment between the human and exoskeleton robots can result in discomfort caused by undesired torque

Exoskeleton-assisted gait training to improve gait in individuals with spinal cord injury: a pilot randomized study

open access: yes, 2018
Background Robotic wearable exoskeletons have been utilized as a gait training device in persons with spinal cord injury. This pilot study investigated the feasibility of offering exoskeleton-assisted gait training (EGT) on gait in individuals with ...

A perspective from the Mesozoic: Evolutionary changes of the mammalian skull and their influence on feeding efficiency and high‐frequency hearing

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The complex evolutionary history behind modern mammalian chewing performance and hearing function is a result of several changes in the entire skeletomuscular system of the skull and lower jaw. Lately, exciting multifunctional 3D analytical methods and kinematic simulations of feeding functions in both modern and fossil mammals and their ...

Development of a neural efficiency metric to assess human-exoskeleton adaptations

open access: yesFrontiers in Robotics and AI
Passive exoskeletons have been introduced to alleviate loading on the lumbar spine while increasing the wearer’s productivity. However, few studies have examined the neurocognitive effects of short-term human-exoskeleton adaptation.

Exoskeleton design

open access: yes, 2020
The bachelor paper „Exoskeleton design“ deals with development of prosthetic exoskeleton of index finger. The exoskeleton is for patient who lost the distal and middle articles of the index finger. The exoskeleton consist of three articles.

The cuticle [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
The nematode cuticle is an extremely flexible and resilient exoskeleton that permits locomotion via attachment to muscle, confers environmental protection and allows growth by molting.

In‐vitro puncture experiment using alligator teeth tracks the formation of dental microwear and its association with hardness of the diet

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract With the development of dental microwear texture analysis (DMTA), there has been an increasing application of DMTA for dietary estimation in extant and fossil reptiles, including dinosaurs. While numerous feeding experiments exist for herbivorous mammals, knowledge remains limited for carnivorous reptiles. This study aimed to qualitatively and

Comparative and functional anatomy of masticatory muscles and bite force in opossums (Didelphimorphia, Didelphidae)

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
We describe the functional anatomy of masticatory muscles in nine opossums, finding a generalized anatomical pattern with differences related to skull morphology. Variation in quantitative myological data and estimated bite force was mostly related to size, and the increase in bite force supports dietary diversification associated with size increase ...

Human–exoskeleton interaction portrait

open access: yesJournal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation
AbstractHuman–robot physical interaction contains crucial information for optimizing user experience, enhancing robot performance, and objectively assessing user adaptation. This study introduces a new method to evaluate human–robot interaction and co-adaptation in lower limb exoskeletons by analyzing muscle activity and interaction torque as a two ...

The cranial, mandibular, and hyoid anatomy of softshell turtles (Trionychidae): A revised character list for phylogenetic analysis

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Softshell turtles (Pan‐Trionychidae) are an early branching clade of hidden‐necked turtles (Cryptodira) with a rich fossil record extending back to the Early Cretaceous. The evolutionary history of softshell turtles is still unresolved because of their conservative morphology combined with high levels of polymorphism related to morphological ...
