Effects of a soft robotic exosuit on the quality and speed of overground walking depends on walking ability after stroke
Lower limb exoskeletons and exosuits (“exos”) are traditionally designed with a strong focus
on mechatronics and actuation, whereas the “human side” is often disregarded or minimally …

Adjacent tissues reduce shear wave speeds in axially loaded tendons
Shear wave tensiometry is a noninvasive approach for gauging tendon loads based on
shear wave speed. Transient shear waves are induced and tracked via sensors secured to …
