The ankle is a crucial joint that supports the human body weight. An ankle sprain will
adversely affect the patient's daily life, so it is of great significance to ensure its strength. To …

In this research, an analysis of parallel Robots in Rehabilitation and Assistance was carried
out to show the state of this technology and provide relevant information for future research …

As one of the most commonly injured joints of the human body, the ankle is often subject to
sprains or fractures that require motion assistance to recover mobility. Whereas …

This paper presents the static balancing design of a special reconfigurable linkage that can
switch between two one-degree-of-freedom (DoF) working configurations. We will show that …

This paper illustrates the development and experimental validation of a robotic ankle–foot
orthosis (AFO) with a series elastic actuator (SEA) and a magneto-rheological (MR) brake …

This paper focuses on the reconfiguration of a 3-(rR) PS metamorphic parallel mechanism
based on complete workspace and operation mode analysis. The mechanism consists of …

This paper systematically deals with the synthesis of multi-mode single-loop 6R, 7R and 8R
Bennett-based mechanisms from an algebraic viewpoint. Based on the factorization of …

This study explores an alternative approach to the study and investigation of foot drop
(weakness of the dorsiflexion muscles of the foot) problem which currently being treated by …

The traditional four-bar mechanism is renowned for its simple structure, dependable
performance, and wide range of applications. The single-degree-of-freedom (DOF) four-bar …

Over the past few years, the concept of multi-directional three-dimensional (3D) printing has
been introduced to print complex shapes and overhang geometry. This technique requires …
