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 ...

A highly stretchable fibrous actuator with robust cyclic actuation and reprogrammable motions
InfoMat, Volume 7, Issue 12, December 2025.We developed a stretchable fibrous actuator combining shape memory alloys and elastomers. It achieves 120% stretchability, 32% actuation strain, and output forces up to 4.3 N. The actuator demonstrates robust reversibility and reprogrammable motions, which enable applications such as a fibrous robot for pipe navigation, a wearable exoskeleton, and an ...
