Background The ankle joint complex (AJC) is of fundamental importance for balance,
support, and propulsion. However, it is particularly susceptible to musculoskeletal and …

There is a high demand for develo** effective controllers to perform fast and accurate
operations for either flexible link manipulators (FLMs) or rigid link manipulators (RLMs) …

This paper presents the development of a novel adaptive wearable ankle robot for the
treatments of ankle sprain through physical rehabilitation. The ankle robot has a bioinspired …

Mathematical modelling plays an important role for robotic manipulators in order to design
their particular controllers. Also, it is hard challenge to obtain an accurate mathematical …

While newer designs and control approaches are being proposed for rehabilitation robots,
vital information from the human musculoskeletal system should also be considered …

In this paper, a new forward kinematic algorithm based on dual quaternion for a six-degree-
of-freedom (DOF) general Stewart Platform is proposed. The algorithm is established after …

There is an increasing research interest in exploring use of robotic devices for the physical
therapy of patients suffering from stroke and spinal cord injuries. Rehabilitation of patients …

Isokinetic muscle strength training refers to the mode of movement based on constant speed
and variable resistance, which can guarantee the maximum resistance and force–distance …

A robotic system for the reduction of fractured femur bone is proposed in this research to
help orthopedics during the labor intensive bone reduction procedures and also save them …

The optimum selection of a structure for a given application is a capital phase in typological
synthesis of parallel robots. To help in this selection, this paper presents a performance …
