Design and Evaluation of a Bilateral Semi-Rigid Exoskeleton to Assist Hip Motion

Biomimetics
This study focused on designing and evaluating a bilateral semi-rigid hip exoskeleton. The exoskeleton assisted the hip joint, capitalizing on its proximity to the body’s center of mass.

A Robotic Assistance With Specialized Timing Improves Motor Performance: Implications for Movement Training

IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering
Robotic devices can expand the repertoire of rehabilitation methods by enabling actions that cannot be replicated by a physical therapist. We previously developed a technique, we term ‘rapid assistance,’ that can assist movements beginning ...

Glucose Variability [PDF]

Diabetes, 2013
The proposed contribution of glucose variability to the development of the complications of diabetes beyond that of glycemic exposure is supported by reports that oxidative stress, the putative mediator of such complications, is greater for intermittent as opposed to sustained hyperglycemia.

Geometric principles of wobble board design for balance training and rehabilitation

Scientific Reports
Wobble boards—unstable platforms mounted on curved bases—are widely used for balance training and rehabilitation. However, their design lacks a systematic theoretical foundation, making it difficult to precisely tailor instability characteristics to ...

On the Calculation of Sample Entropy Using Continuous and Discrete Human Gait Data

Entropy, 2018
Sample entropy (SE) has relative consistency using biologically-derived, discrete data >500 data points. For certain populations, collecting this quantity is not feasible and continuous data has been used.

Selective engagement of long-latency reflexes in postural control through wobble board training

Scientific Reports
Long-latency reflexes (LLRs) are critical precursors to intricate postural coordination of muscular adaptations that sustain equilibrium following abrupt disturbances.

Addition of 24‐Hour Heart Rate Variability Parameters to the Cardiovascular Health Study Stroke Risk Score and Prediction of Incident Stroke: The Cardiovascular Health Study

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2017
BackgroundHeart rate variability (HRV) characterizes cardiac autonomic functioning. The association of HRV with stroke is uncertain. We examined whether 24‐hour HRV added predictive value to the Cardiovascular Health Study clinical stroke risk score (CHS‐
