Lateral resistance walk exercise (LRWE) is a popular method for fitness and rehabilitation
training. However, current methods such as lateral band walks (LBW) cannot actively control …

Most stroke survivors have mobility deficits and show a pathological gait pattern. Seeking to
enhance the gait performance among this population, we have developed a hybrid cable …

Locomotion results from the interactions of highly nonlinear neural and biomechanical
dynamics. Accordingly, understanding gait dynamics across behavioral conditions and …

Background During inpatient rehabilitation, physical therapists (PTs) often need to manually
advance patients' limbs, adding physical burden to PTs and impacting gait retraining quality …

Increased propulsion force (PF) in the paretic limb is associated with improved walking
speed in patients with stroke. However, late braking force (LBF), an additional braking force …

Many studies have demonstrated in the past that the level of long-range autocorrelations in
series of stride durations, characterizing natural gait variability, is impacted by external …

Millions of individuals surviving a stroke have lifelong gait impairments that reduce their
personal independence and quality of life. Reduced walking speed is one of the major …

Wearable exoskeletons show significant potential for improving gait impairments, such as
interlimb asymmetry. However, a more profound understanding of whether exoskeletons are …

Background Walking speed and energy economy tend to decline with age. Lower-limb
exoskeletons have demonstrated potential to improve either measure, but primarily in …

The effectiveness of robotic exoskeletons for post-stroke gait rehabilitation might be limited
as the control parameters of these devices do not adapt to key biomechanical descriptors …
