Design of a Payload Adjustment Device for an Unpowered Lower-Limb Exoskeleton [PDF]
Sensors, 2021 This paper proposes a device that can change the payload of an unpowered lower-limb exoskeleton supporting the weights of humans and loads. Our previous exoskeletons used a cam–follower structure with a spring applied to the hip joint.

International Journal of Advanced Robotic Systems, 2017 This study describes the natural stiffness of a pneumatic powered exoskeleton arm, designed as a haptic device in virtual reality applications. It is important for the haptic device to provide a natural, safe, and comfortable physical mutual human–robot ...

Task-Dependent Effectiveness of a Quasi-Direct-Drive Upper-Limb Exoskeleton: Shoulder Muscle Offloading Versus Metabolic Cost in Overhead Work [PDF]
BioengineeringWork-related shoulder disorders during overhead assembly represent a persistent occupational challenge. We evaluated a quasi-direct-drive (QDD) active upper-limb exoskeleton during simulated overhead work, providing simultaneous metabolic ...

Human Factors Assessment of a Novel Pediatric Lower-Limb Exoskeleton
Robotics, 2023 While several lower-limb exoskeletons have been designed for adult patients, there remains a lack of pediatric-oriented devices. This paper presented a human factor assessment of an adjustable pediatric lower-limb exoskeleton for childhood gait ...

Design and experimental testing of a force-augmenting exoskeleton for the human hand
Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, 2022 Background Many older Americans suffer from long-term upper limb dysfunction, decreased grip strength, and/or a reduced ability to hold objects due to injuries and a variety of age-related illnesses.

Exoskeleton - wearable devices. Literature review [PDF]
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2021 Exoskeletons are companion devices that help a person to perform various daily activities. These can range from work to medical rehabilitation. The type of activity performed depend on the construction and control of the exoskeleton, so that some devices are for only one arm, others for both, can be driven by motors directly or through cables ...

The exoskeleton expansion: improving walking and running economy
Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, 2020 Since the early 2000s, researchers have been trying to develop lower-limb exoskeletons that augment human mobility by reducing the metabolic cost of walking and running versus without a device.

Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, 2020 Background We know little about the budget impact of integrating robotic exoskeleton over-ground training into therapy services for locomotor training. The purpose of this study was to estimate the budget impact of adding robotic exoskeleton over-ground ...
