An Exoskeleton Robot for Human Forearm and Wrist Motion Assist

open access: yesJournal 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 ...

A tracking device for a wearable high-DOF passive hand exoskeleton [PDF]

open access: yes2021 43rd Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine & Biology Society (EMBC), 2021
In previous work, we developed an exoskeleton (HandSOME II) that allows movement at 15 hand degrees of freedom (DOF) and is intended for take-home use. An activity tracking device was developed in order to track index finger movement with a pair of magnetometers and magnet. The goal was to detect grip attempts by the individual.

Usability and performance validation of an ultra-lightweight and versatile untethered robotic ankle exoskeleton

open access: yesJournal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, 2021
Background Ankle exoskeletons can improve walking mechanics and energetics, but few untethered devices have demonstrated improved performance and usability across a wide range of users and terrains.

The Effectiveness and Safety of Exoskeletons as Assistive and Rehabilitation Devices in the Treatment of Neurologic Gait Disorders in Patients with Spinal Cord Injury: A Systematic Review

open access: yesGlobal Spine Journal, 2016
Study Design Systematic review. Clinical Questions (1) When used as an assistive device, do wearable exoskeletons improve lower extremity function or gait compared with knee-ankle-foot orthoses (KAFOs) in patients with complete or incomplete spinal cord ...

c^2AIDER: cognitive cloud exoskeleton system and its applications

open access: yesCognitive Computation and Systems, 2019
Lower extremity exoskeleton systems have been widely applied in walking assistance, rehabilitation, and augmentation-related applications merely through human-exoskeleton movement collaboration, which cannot analyse cognitive load and pressure of pilots.

Flexohand: A Hybrid Exoskeleton-Based Novel Hand Rehabilitation Device [PDF]

open access: yesMicromachines, 2021
Home-based hand rehabilitation has excellent potential as it may reduce patient dropouts due to travel, transportation, and insurance constraints. Being able to perform exercises precisely, accurately, and in a repetitive manner, robot-aided portable devices have gained much traction these days in hand rehabilitation.

The Kickstart Walk Assist System for improving balance and walking function in stroke survivors: a feasibility study

open access: yesJournal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, 2021
Background Compared with traditional physical therapy for stroke patients, lower extremity exoskeletons can provide patients with greater endurance and more repeatable and controllable training, which can reduce the therapeutic burden of the therapist ...

The Effects of Exoskeleton Assistance at the Ankle on Sensory Integration During Standing Balance

open access: yesIEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering, 2023
Exoskeleton devices can reduce metabolic cost, increase walking speed, and augment load-carrying capacity. However, little is known about the effects of powered assistance on the sensory information required to achieve these tasks. To learn how to use an

A Biomechanical Comparison of Proportional Electromyography Control to Biological Torque Control Using a Powered Hip Exoskeleton

open access: yesFrontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2017
BackgroundDespite a large increase in robotic exoskeleton research, there are few studies that have examined human performance with different control strategies on the same exoskeleton device.
