Optimization of the Position and Stiffness of Passive Walking Assistance Devices
Applied Sciences, 2023 Walking is a fundamental movement in daily life; however, many factors affect walking that may reduce the mobility of the people. Walking assistance devices can help with gaining mobility back for people who suffer from walking problems.

IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering, 2022 Hip-assisted soft exosuits have been reported for their effect on reducing the metabolic power of human walking. Currently, most studies focus on uni-directional assistance (HF: hip flexion, or HE: hip extension). This paper investigates the effect of bi-

Optimized hip–knee–ankle exoskeleton assistance at a range of walking speeds
Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, 2021 Background Autonomous exoskeletons will need to be useful at a variety of walking speeds, but it is unclear how optimal hip–knee–ankle exoskeleton assistance should change with speed.

Biomechanics in crutch assisted walking
Acta IMEKO, 2022 Different diseases may require patients to use crutches in their daily life. While upper limbs fatigue is limited when a temporary impairment is considered, it may become an important issue when considering permanent impairments such as those due to stroke or multiple sclerosis.

The Effects of Incline Level on Optimized Lower-Limb Exoskeleton Assistance: A Case Series
IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering, 2022 For exoskeletons to be successful in real-world settings, they will need to be effective across a variety of terrains, including on inclines. While some single-joint exoskeletons have assisted incline walking, recent successes in level-ground assistance ...
