Reducing Personalization Time and Energy Cost While Walking Outdoors with a Portable Exosuit

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Rapid Real‐World Optimization! An AF‐based human‐in‐the‐loop optimization strategy rapidly personalizes a portable hip extension exosuit for incline walking. Real‐time Bayesian optimization of assistive force significantly reduces metabolic energy—up to 16.2%—while converging in just 3 min 24 s.

A Soft Wearable Robot for Vertical Jump Enhancement via a Pneumatic Energy‐Storing Propulsion Actuator and Triarticular Kinetic‐Chained Structure

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
The Jump‐Enhancing Textile Suit integrates the Pneumatic Energy‐Storing Propulsion Actuator (PESPA) and the Triarticular Kinetic‐Chained Structure (TKiCS). PESPA stores elastic energy under pneumatic pressure and releases it during the propulsive phase to augment movement.

Effect of a rigid ankle-foot orthosis on hamstring length in children with hemiplagia [PDF]

, 2002
Eighteen children with hemiplegia, mean age 8 years 5 months, underwent gait analysis and musculoskeletal modelling using specially designed software. The maximum lengths of the hamstrings were determined for each child walking in and out of an ankle–

Muscle and intensity based hamstring exercise classification in elite female track and field athletes: implications for exercise selection during rehabilitation [PDF]

, 2015
Background: Hamstring injuries are common in many sports, including track and field. Strains occur in different parts of the hamstring muscle but very little is known about whether common hamstring loading exercises specifically load different hamstring

Neuropathic Pain and Enlarged Nerves in Adult Noonan Syndrome and Noonan Syndrome With Multiple Lentigines: Health‐Related Quality of Life and Neurologic Symptoms

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Noonan syndrome (NS) and the clinically related Noonan syndrome with multiple lentigines (NSML) belong to the group of RASopathies. Although pain is not mentioned as a characteristic feature, it has recently been reported as a clinically significant problem.

Hamstring, Bone-patellar Tendon-bone, Quadriceps, and Peroneus Longus Tendon Autografts for Primary Isolated Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: A Systematic Review

Journal of Orthopedics, Traumatology and Rehabilitation
Background: Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) involves surgically restoring the injured ACL through the placement of graft material. The selection of graft material plays a crucial role in ensuring optimal knee stability postsurgery. Using
