Feasibility of a new soft ankle exoskeleton on people with dropfoot post-stroke
Dropfoot gait pattern during walking commonly persists after stroke and is often associated with muscle weakness and pathological muscle activation. Exoskeletons have demonstrated the potential to improve mobility in people with neurological conditions. We have developed a novel soft ankle…

Concerted control framework for human-exoskeleton co-adaptation using ground reaction forces
Effective coordination between the human neuromuscular system and wearable assistive devices remains a key challenge in enhancing gait performance. We propose a concerted control strategy synchronizing biological and artificial actuators using shared feedback. Positioned between centralized (e.g…

Shoulder-wearable soft robot for assisting older adults in scapular stretching
We propose a wearable soft robot that assists with individualized scapula adduction and abduction for thoracic stretching in respiratory rehabilitation. Although thoracic stretching is known to be effective for respiratory rehabilitation, the range of motion of older adult patients narrows with…

Wearable-only estimation of L5-S1 joint moments during lifting: A CEINMS-based validation
This study aimed to evaluate the use of wearable sensors to estimate L5-S1 flexion moments during symmetric lifting tasks by integrating inertial motion capture (IMC), surface electromyography (sEMG), and the calibrated EMG-informed neuromusculoskeletal (CEINMS) framework. Eight participants…

Muscle fatigue and recovery aware control with a hybrid exoskeleton – A preliminary study in spinal cord injury
The advantages of functional electrical stimulation (FES) and powered exoskeletons can be merged into a hybrid gait therapy system for people with mobility impairments. We introduce a new control paradigm that alternates between pure exoskeleton-assisted walking and combined FES- and…

A lightweight passive ankle exoskeleton with dual-phase energy harvesting and stiffness adaptation
Passive exoskeletons offer several advantages, including lightweight design, simple structure, and inherent energy efficiency. Most existing passive exoskeletons rely on clutch mechanisms to control spring-based energy storage and release, typically focusing only on recovering biomechanical energy…

A preliminary study of the efficacy of bimodal versus unimodal stumble recovery responses in a powered knee prosthesis
Transfemoral prosthesis users demonstrate a higher fall rate due to tripping than able-bodied controls in previous laboratory studies. In particular, early swing demonstrates the greatest disparity, where able-bodied controls typically utilize an elevating strategy to cross the obstacle in the same…

Posture clip: Sit properly or I won’t let you work
Poor posture is a significant concern due to its detrimental effects on health and productivity. This article presents a collar-clipped device called PostureClip, designed to restrict users from sitting and working at a bent angle, by blacking out the screen and resuming on correcting posture…

Effects of ankle-foot prosthesis design on gait and standing performance in transfemoral prosthesis users: A scoping review
Ankle-foot mechanisms are designed to substitute for missing anatomical behavior of lower-limb prosthesis users. Historically, the majority of ankle-foot mechanism research has been focused on transtibial prosthesis users despite evidence that current knowledge is not directly translated to…

A novel portable device and validation procedure for transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation
The adoption of upper limb myoelectric prosthesis is limited by the lack of closed control loop systems. Although the efferent control has already been integrated into these devices, the sensory feedback restoration in the afferent channel still remains an open challenge. Transcutaneous electrical…

Joint coordination constraints using an upper limb exoskeleton impact novel skill acquisition
Robotic exoskeletons offer the potential to train novel motor skill acquisition and thus aid physical rehabilitation. Our prior work demonstrated that individuals converge to certain kinematic coordinations as they learn a novel task. An upper-limb exoskeleton controller that constrains individuals…
