Stroke Recovery and Rehabilitation [PDF]

open access: yesStroke, 2003
One of the most exciting areas of stroke research is our increasing understanding of the brain’s plasticity and the ability of rehabilitation to influence neurological recovery and subsequently impact clinical outcomes. Pomeroy and Tallis1 note, “The recent revolution in our understanding of the nervous system as being soft-wired, of the potential for ...

Bioinspired Soft‐Skeleton Robotics With Cooperative Shape Transformation and Stiffness Adaptation

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A bioinspired soft‐skeleton robot that integrates variable‐stiffness chain skeletons into a soft textile skin is developed. The chain skeletons are highly flexible initially but can stiffen upon pneumatic actuation, enabling large deformation and enhanced load‐bearing capacity.
