To help people with impairment of lower extremity movement regain the ability to stand and
walk, and to enhance limb function, this study proposes an anthropomorphic design of an …

In this paper, we develop a small-scale knee exoskeleton by using springs of shape memory
alloy (SMA). In a simplified design, two groups of four SMA springs are arranged on the front …

In recent decades, the field of physical rehabilitation, with the help of robotic systems that aid
