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.

Development and Testing of a Soft Exoskeleton Robotic Hand Training Device [PDF]
Sensors, 2023 Hand-function recovery is often a goal for stroke survivors undergoing therapy. This work aimed to design, build, and verify a pneumatic hand training device for its eventual use in post-stroke rehabilitation. The system was built considering prior research in the field of robotic hand rehabilitation as well as specifications and design constraints ...

Exoskeleton Device For Left Hemiplegia Patients With Electromyograph [PDF]
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

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 ...

Development of the Stiffenable Exoskeleton Device for a Colonoscopy [PDF]
Journal of Medical Devices, 2009 Colonoscopy provides a minimally invasive tool for examining and treating the colon without surgery, but current colonoscope designs still cause a degree of pain and mechanical trauma to the colon wall. The most common colonoscopes are long tubes inserted through the rectum with fiber optic lights, cameras, and biopsy tools on the distal end.
