Background Physical and functional losses due to aging and diseases decrease human
mobility, independence, and quality of life. This study is aimed at summarizing and …

Maintaining balance throughout daily activities is challenging because of the unstable
nature of the human body. For instance, a person's delayed reaction times limit their ability to …

Most current hip exoskeletons emphasize assistance for walking rather than stability. The
goal of this paper is to develop a novel, high-power, self-balancing, and passively and …

Recently, fall risk assessment has been a main focus in fall-related research. Wearable
sensors have been used to increase the objectivity of this assessment, building on the …

The lower extremity exoskeletons (LEE) are used as an assistive device for disabled people,
rehabilitation for paraplegic, and power augmentation for military or industrial workers. In all …

Ankle exoskeletons hold potential to augment human walking ability, yet their use in free-
living environments has been limited by the absence of practical and effective control …

Background In the last two decades, lower-limb exoskeletons have been developed to assist
human standing and locomotion. One of the ongoing challenges is the cooperation between …

This paper presents the development of a wearable smart textile for mechanical perturbation
assessment during gait based on distributed optical fiber sensor system using the …

There is an increasing trend in utilizing interactive technology for bodily integrations, such as
additional limbs and ingestibles. Prior work on bodily integrated systems mostly examined …
