The basic routine movements for elderly people are not easily accessible due to the weak
muscles and impaired nerves in their lower extremity. In the last few years, many robotic …

Lower extremity robotic exoskeletons (LEEX) can not only improve the ability of the human
body but also provide healing treatment for people with lower extremity dysfunction. There …

This article presents the design and validation of a backdrivable powered knee orthosis for
partial assistance of lower-limb musculature, which aims to facilitate daily activities in …

Due to the recent rise in the use of lower-limb exoskeletons as an alternative for gait
rehabilitation, gait phase detection has become an increasingly important feature in the …

Exoskeletons aim to provide required torques in a patient's lower limbs generating
anatomical patterns. In this sense, this work presents an AGoRA lower limb exoskeleton …

The global increase in the number of stroke patients and limited accessibility to rehabilitation
has promoted an increase in the design and development of mobile exoskeletons. Robot …

Although Cable-driven rehabilitation devices (CDRDs) have several advantages over
traditional link-driven devices, including their light weight, ease of reconfiguration, and …

It is well understood that motor dysfunctions in patients can be restored through a certain
amount of repetitive training. Robots and virtual reality offer an excellent solution to …

Robot-assisted rehabilitation and assistance devices are emerging as a new possibility to
help individuals with motor impairment for recovering or compensating lost motor control. In …

This paper presents the development and validation of a polymer optical-fiber strain-gauge
sensor based on the light-coupling principle to measure axial deformation of elastic tendons …
