There is increasing interest in using robotic devices to assist in movement training following
neurologic injuries such as stroke and spinal cord injury. This paper reviews control …

Objective The aim of this study was to provide a systematic review of studies that
investigated the effectiveness of robot-assisted therapy on ankle motor and function …

In this paper, we present the design and characterization of a novel ankle robot developed
at the Massachusetts institute of technology (MIT). This robotic module is being tested with …

Robots intended for high-force interaction with humans face particular challenges to achieve
performance and stability. They require low and tunable endpoint impedance as well as …

Background: Stroke causes weak functional mobility in survivors and affects the ability to
perform activities of daily living. Wearable ankle robots are a potential intervention for gait …

In this paper we present a redundantly actuated parallel mechanism for ankle rehabilitation.
The proposed device has the advantage of mechanical and kinematic simplicity when …

In this paper, we present a retrospective and chronological review of our efforts to
revolutionize the way physical medicine is practiced by developing and deploying …

The use of robots in rehabilitation, particularly for physical therapy has the potential to bring
about various benefits including reduction of physical workload of physiotherapists and …

Ankle rehabilitation robots are developed to enhance ankle strength, flexibility and
proprioception after injury and to promote motor learning and ankle plasticity in patients with …

Our objective in this study was to assess passive mechanical stiffness in the ankle of chronic
hemiparetic stroke survivors and to compare it with those of healthy young and older (age …
