A Soft Exosuit for Flexible Upper-Extremity Rehabilitation
IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering, 2018 For stroke survivors and many other people with upper-extremity impairment, daily life can be difficult without properly functioning arms. Some modern physical therapy exercises focus on rehabilitating people with these troubles by correcting patients' perceptions of their own body to eventually regain complete control and strength over their arms ...

Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 8, Issue 1, January 2026.A six‐element viscoelastic model is presented for tissue‐engineered skeletal muscle, addressing the limitations of the conventional Hill's model. By introducing an active branch, the model accurately describes force responses in both elongation and isometric tests and successfully predicts the electrically induced displacement of a reverse‐action ...
