Stroke affects one out of every six people on Earth. Approximately 90% of stroke survivors
have some functional disability with mobility being a major impairment, which not only …

Background The ankle joint complex (AJC) is of fundamental importance for balance,
support, and propulsion. However, it is particularly susceptible to musculoskeletal and …

This paper presents a twin dual-axis robotic platform system which is designed for the
characterization of postural balance under various environmental conditions and …

Stroke has been the leading cause of disability due to the induced spasticity in the upper
extremity. The constant flexion of spastic fingers following stroke has not been well …

The purpose of this study is to quantify sex differences in 2-dimensional (2D) ankle stiffness
during upright standing balance and investigate the mechanisms for the differences. A dual …

This paper presents a soft robotic ankle-foot orthosis (SR-AFO) exosuit designed to provide
support to the human ankle in the frontal plane without restricting natural motion in the …

A goniometer is currently the gold standard for range of motion (ROM) measurements.
However, trained staff are required for accurate measurements. The objective of this study is …

This paper presents the design, modeling, analysis, fabrication, and experimental
characterization of the soft robotic ankle-foot orthosis (SR-AFO), which is a wearable soft …

Objective: This study investigates the factors contributing to the modulation of ankle stiffness
during standing balance and evaluates the reliability of linear stiffness models. Methods: A …

Generally, severity, any additional damage to the joint surface, and the optimal rehabilitation
influence the recovery of an ankle injury. Optimal rehabilitation is the only approach for a …
