Enhancing Neuroplasticity in the Chronic Phase After Stroke: Effects of a Soft Robotic Exosuit on Training Intensity and Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor

IEEE Open Journal of Engineering in Medicine and Biology, 2023
Objective: High intensity training may enhance neuroplasticity after stroke; however, gait deficits limit the ability to achieve and sustain high walking training intensities.

Neuro-cognitive assessment of intentional control methods for a soft elbow exosuit using error-related potentials

Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, 2022
Soft exosuits offer promise to support users in everyday workload tasks by providing assistance. However, acceptance of such systems remains low due to the difficulty of control compared with rigid mechatronic systems.

Characterizing force capability and stiffness of hip exosuits under different anchor points

PLoS ONE, 2022
Exosuits have been broadly researched owing to their benefits from soft and deformable nature. However, compared to exoskeletons, the exosuits have disadvantages in that the deformation of suit and human tissue can cause dissipation, leading to low force

Soft robotic exosuit augmented high intensity gait training on stroke survivors: a pilot study

Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, 2022
Background Stroke is a leading cause of serious gait impairments and restoring walking ability is a major goal of physical therapy interventions. Soft robotic exosuits are portable, lightweight, and unobtrusive assistive devices designed to improve the ...

Force and Torque Characterization in the Actuation of a Walking-Assistance, Cable-Driven Exosuit

Sensors, 2022
Soft exosuits stand out when it comes to the development of walking-assistance devices thanks to both their higher degree of wearability, lower weight, and price compared to the bulkier equivalent rigid exoskeletons.

A biologically-inspired multi-joint soft exosuit that can reduce the energy cost of loaded walking. [PDF]

J Neuroeng Rehabil, 2016
Background: Carrying load alters normal walking, imposes additional stress to the musculoskeletal system, and results in an increase in energy consumption and a consequent earlier onset of fatigue.

Real-time gait metric estimation for everyday gait training with wearable devices in people poststroke

Wearable Technologies, 2021
Hemiparetic walking after stroke is typically slow, asymmetric, and inefficient, significantly impacting activities of daily living. Extensive research shows that functional, intensive, and task-specific gait training is instrumental for effective gait ...
