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

Upper-limb impairment after stroke is caused by weakness, loss of individual joint control,
spasticity, and abnormal synergies. Upper-limb movement frequently involves abnormal …

In this paper, we present the design and evaluation of a novel soft cable-driven exosuit that
can apply forces to the body to assist walking. Unlike traditional exoskeletons which contain …

When developing robotic exoskeletons, the design of physical connections between the
device and the human limb to which it is connected is a crucial problem. Indeed, using an …

Textile based pneumatic actuators have recently seen increased development for use in
wearable applications thanks to their high strength to weight ratio and range of achievable …

The LIMPACT is an exoskeleton developed to be used in identifying the reflex properties of
the arm in stroke survivors. Information on joint reflexes helps in designing optimal patient …

To automatically align exoskeleton axes to human anatomical axes, we propose to decouple
the joint rotations from the joint translations. Decoupling can reduce setup times and painful …

The use of exoskeletons by the elderly, disabled people, heavy labor workers, and soldiers
can have great social and economic benefit. However, limitations in usability are impeding …

This paper presents a relatively complete analytical model of a knee joint interacting with a
two-link exoskeleton for investigating the effects of different exoskeleton designs on the …

In this paper it is shown how variation of the kinematic structure of an exoskeleton and
variation of its fixation strength on the human limb influences objective task performance …
