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.

Exoskeleton Device For Left Hemiplegia Patients With Electromyograph

Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2022
Abstract Loss of motion is a condition in which muscle activity in a part of the body is lost; it is also known as paralysis. Loss of motion is most commonly caused by a severe stroke, in which the blood supply to a portion of the cerebrum is cut off. Hemiplegia is a sort of loss of motion which influences half of the body, i.e., one arm

Muscle coordination and recruitment during squat assistance using a robotic ankle–foot exoskeleton

Scientific Reports, 2023
Squatting is an intensive activity routinely performed in the workplace to lift and lower loads. The effort to perform a squat can decrease using an exoskeleton that considers individual worker’s differences and assists them with a customized solution ...

Design of a Novel Telerehabilitation System with a Force-Sensing Mechanism

Sensors, 2015
Many stroke patients are expected to rehabilitate at home, which limits their access to proper rehabilitation equipment, treatment, or assessment by therapists. We have developed a novel telerehabilitation system that incorporates a human-upper-limb-like

An Exoskeleton Robot for Human Forearm and Wrist Motion Assist

Journal of Advanced Mechanical Design, Systems, and Manufacturing, 2008
The exoskeleton robot is worn by the human operator as an orthotic device. Its joints and links correspond to those of the human body. The same system operated in different modes can be used for different fundamental applications; a human-amplifier ...
