In the past decade, advanced technologies in robotics have been explored to enhance the
rehabilitation of post-stroke patients. Previous works have shown that gait assistance for …

Here, we present the design of a novel unpowered ankle exoskeleton that is low profile,
lightweight, quiet, and low cost to manufacture, intrinsically adapts to different walking …

Background: Carbon fiber is increasingly being used in ankle-foot orthoses (AFOs). Orthotic
devices and carbon fiber-containing devices have been shown to reduce pain and improve …

The limited portability of pneumatic pumps presents a challenge for ankle-foot orthosis
actuated by pneumatic actuators. The high-pressure requirements and time delay responses …

A three‐dimensional motion capture system is a useful tool for analysing gait patterns during
walking or exercising, and it is frequently applied in biomechanical studies. However, most …

Motion recognition and classification are crucial for exoskeleton applications in
rehabilitation, activities of daily living (ADL), and entertainment. Accurate activity analysis is …

Compared to the last few decades, there is an increase in prevalence of neuromuscular
diseases like stroke, multiple sclerosis, and cerebral palsy. These diseases cause lower …

An ankle-foot orthosis (AFO) with a plantarflexion resistance function, improves post-stroke
gait. An AFO with a plantarflexion resistance function not only affects the first rocker function …

This paper presents a survey on recent advances of wearable actuated ankle-foot orthoses
(AAFOs). First of all, their medical functions are investigated. From the short-term aspect …

This study aims to investigate an appropriate ankle velocity reference (ω ref), which is the
average ankle velocity of a certain healthy subject when walking with a certain walking …
