Admittance swarm-based adaptive controller for lower limb exoskeleton with gait trajectory shaping

Journal of King Saud University: Computer and Information Sciences
The motivation for developing a rehabilitation lower-limb exoskeleton robot was to provide functional robot-assisted therapy for assisting physiotherapists in improving hemiplegic patients’ walking recovery.

Automatic Setting Procedure for Exoskeleton-Assisted Overground Gait: Proof of Concept on Stroke Population [PDF]

, 2018
Stroke-related locomotor impairments are often associated with abnormal timing and intensity of recruitment of the affected and non-affected lower limb muscles. Restoring the proper lower limbs muscles activation is a key factor to facilitate recovery of

Comparative and functional anatomy of masticatory muscles and bite force in opossums (Didelphimorphia, Didelphidae)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
We describe the functional anatomy of masticatory muscles in nine opossums, finding a generalized anatomical pattern with differences related to skull morphology. Variation in quantitative myological data and estimated bite force was mostly related to size, and the increase in bite force supports dietary diversification associated with size increase ...

Wearable exoskeleton robot control using radial basis function‐based fixed‐time terminal sliding mode with prescribed performance

Asian Journal of Control, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper tackles the problem of robust and accurate fixed‐time tracking in human–robot interaction and deals with uncertainties. This work introduces a control approach for a wearable exoskeleton designed specifically for rehabilitation tasks.

Biomechanical mechanisms underlying exosuit-induced improvements in walking economy after stroke [PDF]

, 2018
Stroke-induced hemiparetic gait is characteristically asymmetric and metabolically expensive. Weakness and impaired control of the paretic ankle contribute to reduced forward propulsion and ground clearance—walking subtasks critical for safe and ...

Design and motion control of exoskeleton robot for paralyzed lower limb rehabilitation

Frontiers in Neuroscience
IntroductionPatients suffering from limb movement disorders require more complete rehabilitation treatment, and there is a huge demand for rehabilitation exoskeleton robots. Flexible and reliable motion control of exoskeleton robots is very important for

Feasibility Study of a Wearable Exoskeleton for Children: Is the Gait Altered by Adding Masses on Lower Limbs? [PDF]

, 2013
We are designing a pediatric exoskeletal ankle robot (pediatric Anklebot) to promote gait habilitation in children with Cerebral Palsy (CP). Few studies have evaluated how much or whether the unilateral loading of a wearable exoskeleton may have the ...

Toward personalizing prosthesis prescription: A take‐home study of three microprocessor‐controlled prosthetic knees: A randomized crossover study

PM&R, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Previous studies on microprocessor‐controlled prosthetic knees (MPKs) often investigate benefits of MPKs as a class of knees rather than clinically relevant differences between specific knees, despite their distinct features. Objectives To systematically evaluate and report outcomes associated with three commercially available MPKs ...

The overlooked outcome measure for spinal cord injury: use of assistive devices [PDF]

, 2019
Although several outcome measures are used to assess various areas of interest regarding spinal cord injuries (SCIs), little is known about the frequency of their use, and the ways in which they transform shared knowledge into implemented practices ...
