Exoskeleton technology has made significant advances during the last decade, resulting in
a considerable variety of solutions for gait assistance and rehabilitation. The mechanical …

Powered exoskeletons are gaining increasing attention in both assistance and rehabilitation
fields. The misalignment between human and exoskeleton joints is an inevitable challenge …

Wearable assistive robotics is an emerging technology with the potential to assist humans
with sensorimotor impairments to perform daily activities. This assistance enables …

A real-time method is proposed to obtain a single, consistent probabilistic model to predict
future joint angles, velocities, accelerations and jerks, together with the timing for the initial …

Despite the increasing interest in using powered ankle-foot orthoses for assistive purposes,
their development and benchmarking still present core challenges. Powered orthoses have …

Compliant actuators are increasingly being designed for wearable robots (WRs) to more
adequately address their issues with safety, wearability, and overall system efficiency. The …

For active AFO applications, pneumatic remote transmission has advantages in minimizing
the mass and complexity of the system due to the flexibility in placing pneumatic …

A common issue with many commercial rehabilitative exoskeletons and orthoses are that
they can be prohibitively expensive for an average individual to afford without additional …

Background In the last decades, several powered ankle-foot orthoses have been developed
to assist the ankle joint of their users during walking. Recent studies have shown that the …

Background: Robotic devices have been used to rehabilitate walking function after stroke.
Although results suggest that post-stroke patients benefit from this non-conventional therapy …
