Design of a Simple and Modular 2-DOF Ankle Physiotherapy Device Relying on a Hybrid Serial-Parallel Robotic Architecture

Applied Bionics and Biomechanics, 2011
The aim of this work is to propose a new 2-DOF robotic platform with hybrid parallel-serial structure and to undertake its parametric design so that it can follow the whole range of ankle related foot movements.

Acute effect of short foot exercise on dynamic stability and foot kinematic in trail runners: a proof-of-concept study [PDF]

PeerJ
Background Trail runners face uneven terrains requiring optimal foot stability and postural control. The short foot exercise (SFE) may acutely enhance dynamic balance and foot arch height, potentially mitigating injury risk.

Time History Gaussian Process Regression for Modeling the Dynamics of Ankle Exoskeleton User Comfort

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Exoskeletons need to be comfortable, but the perception of comfort may change over time. This study investigated if short‐term time history directly influences comfort. No previous trials’ input features were predictive of comfort. Including the previous trial's comfort score marginally improved model accuracy compared to a model using only the current

Improving independence in the community for stroke survivors : the role of biomechanics visualisation in ankle-foot orthosis tuning [PDF]

, 2011
One of the key priorities for stroke survivors in their rehabilitation process is regaining their ability to walk. Evidence has shown that provision of ankle-foot orthoses (AFOs) can have a positive impact on walking.

Co‐Delivery of Sustained Release Chondroitinase ABC‐37 With Human iPSC‐Derived Neural Progenitors Promotes Transplant Survival and Functional Recovery in a Rodent Model of Stroke

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A regenerative strategy for stroke combines human stem cell–derived neural progenitor cells with sustained release of a matrix‐modifying, thermostable chondroitinase ABC‐37 enzyme. In a rat model of stroke, co‐delivery enhanced transplanted cell survival and neuronal differentiation, degraded inhibitory extracellular matrix components, and improved ...

Multiscale Coupling From Mastication to Retronasal Aroma Perception: The PG‐DTCFN Model and Multiphysics Simulation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Using grilled lamb skewers as a model system, this work builds a multiscale coupling framework from oral processing to retronasal aroma perception, reveals dual‐kinetic release patterns and Electroencephalogram‐characterized central encoding features, and proposes an interpretable physics‐guided deep learning model validated by multiphysics simulation,
