Human walking is usually conceived as the cyclic rotation of the limbs. The goal of lower-
limb movements, however, is the forward translation of the body system, which can be …

In human gait analysis studies, the entire foot is typically modeled as a single rigid-body
segment; however, this neglects power generated/absorbed within the foot. Here we show …

Adaptive explanations for modern human foot anatomy have long fascinated evolutionary
biologists because of the dramatic differences between our feet and those of our closest …

Here, we present the design of a novel unpowered ankle exoskeleton that is low profile,
lightweight, quiet, and low cost to manufacture, intrinsically adapts to different walking …

Background Individualized, targeted, and intense training is the hallmark of successful gait
rehabilitation in people post-stroke. Specifically, increasing use of the impaired ankle to …

Advances in medical diagnosis and treatment have facilitated the emergence of precision
medicine. In contrast, locomotor rehabilitation for individuals with acquired neuromotor …

The human foot and ankle system is equipped with structures that can produce mechanical
work through elastic (eg, Achilles tendon, plantar fascia) or viscoelastic (eg, heel pad) …

Objective The aim of the study was to evaluate the effects on common poststroke gait
compensations of a soft wearable robot (exosuit) designed to assist the paretic limb during …

Highlights Foot measurements show an insignificant increase at a more rapid walking
speed. Faster walking speed results in higher mean peak plantar pressure in the forefoot …
