Magnetorheological fluids (MRF) are intelligent materials that can vary their yield stress in
response to an applied magnetic field. This characteristic, combined with active and …

Lower limb exoskeletons (LLE) have been successfully used in robotic-assisted
rehabilitation to reduce the burden of locomotor impairment of disabled people. However …

Lower-limb gait training exoskeletons are extraordinary tools used to reduce the burden of
locomotor impairments in patients with neurological diseases. However, the transparent …

This study analyses the energy consumption of an active magnetorheological knee (AMRK)
actuator that was designed for transfemoral prostheses. The system was developed as an …

Lower limb exoskeletons have been successfully used in robotic-assisted rehabilitation.
However, the design limitations of exoskeletons mechanics, such as weight and the lack of …

Rehabilitation strategies based on robotic systems, like lower-limb exoskeletons, is
expected to reduce the burden of locomotor impairment in patients with neurological …

Existing microprocessor-controlled passive prosthetic knees (PaPKs) and active prosthetic
knees (AcPKs) cannot truly simulate the muscle activity characteristics of the active–passive …

Embedded Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI) have emerged as an alternative for
rehabilitation/assistance of people with neuromotor impairments. Data-driven methods are …

The human knee plays a crucial role in gait. Because of that, the biomechanics of
transfemoral amputees is severely affected due to lower-limb loss. In the past few years …

Power transmission for mechanical systems often involves the use of clutching-or dissipative-
elements to protect drive systems and provide steady output power. As standard …
