Exoskeletons can augment the performance of unimpaired users and restore movement in
individuals with gait impairments. Knowledge of how users interact with wearable devices …

Wearable robots are undergoing a disruptive transition, from the rigid machines that
populated the science-fiction world in the early 1980s to lightweight robotic apparel, hardly …

This paper presents design and batch manufacturing of a highly stretchable textile‐silicone
capacitive sensor to be used in human articulation detection, soft robotics, and …

Recent advances in the rapidly growing field of soft robotics highlight the potential for

Background Carrying load alters normal walking, imposes additional stress to the
musculoskeletal system, and results in an increase in energy consumption and a …

Background Physical and functional losses due to aging and diseases decrease human
mobility, independence, and quality of life. This study is aimed at summarizing and …

Background Atypical walking in the months and years after stroke constrain community
reintegration and reduce mobility, health, and quality of life. The ReWalk ReStore™ is a soft …

Muscle weakness—which can result from neurological injuries, genetic disorders, or typical
aging—can affect a person's mobility and quality of life. For many people with muscle …

This review meta-analysis combines and compares the findings of previously published
works in the field of soft wearable robots (SWRs) that provide active methods of actuation for …

We propose a soft robotic ankle-foot-orthosis for poststroke patients, which is inexpensive,
lightweight, easy to wear, and capable of gait assistance for rehabilitation not only in the …
