Micro- and nanostructure specific X-ray tomography reveals less matrix formation and altered collagen organization following re duce d loading during Achilles tendon healing

Recovery of the collagen structure following Achilles tendon rupture is poor, resulting in a high risk for re-ruptures. The loading environment during healing affects the mechanical properties of the tendon, but the relation between loading regime and heal ...

Novel Design and Implementation of a Neuromuscular Controller on a Hip Exoskeleton for Partial Gait Assistance

Auke Ijspeert, Mohamed Bouri, Ali Reza Manzoori, Andrea Di Russo, Sara Messara

Exoskeletons intended for partial assistance of walking should be able to follow the gait pattern of their users, via online adaptive control strategies rather than imposing predefined kinetic or kinematic profiles. NeuroMuscular Controllers (NMCs) are ada ...

Aging and matrix viscoelasticity affect multiscale tendon properties and tendon derived cell behavior

Yann Tinguely

Aging is the largest risk factor for Achilles tendon associated disorders and rupture. Although Achilles tendon macroscale elastic properties are suggested to decline with aging, less is known about the effect of maturity and aging on multiscale viscoelast ...

Neuromuscular Controller Embedded in a Powered Ankle Exoskeleton: Effects on Gait, Clinical Features and Subjective Perspective of Incomplete Spinal Cord Injured Subjects

Auke Ijspeert, Florin Dzeladini

Powered exoskeletons are among the emerging technologies claiming to assist functional ambulation. The potential to adapt robotic assistance based on specific motor abilities of incomplete spinal cord injury (iSCI) subjects, is crucial to optimize Human-Ro ...

Biomechanical effects of passive hip springs during walking

Passive spring-like structures can store and return energy during cyclic movements and thereby reduce the energetic cost of locomotion. That makes them important components of the human body and wearable assistive devices alike. This study investigates how ...

Alignment of collagen fiber in knitted silk scaffold for functional massive rotator cuff repair

Weiliang Shen, Ting Zhu, Jiayun Huang

Rotator cuff tear is one of the most common types of shoulder injuries, often resulting in pain and physical debilitation. Allogeneic tendon-derived decellularized matrices do not have appropriate pore size and porosity to facilitate cell infiltration, whi ...

Effects of a neuromuscular controller on a powered ankle exoskeleton during human walking

Auke Ijspeert, Arash Arami, Etienne Burdet, Florin Dzeladini, Amy Roning Wu, Daniel Renjewski

Wearable devices to assist abnormal gaits require controllers that interact with the user in an intuitive and unobtrusive manner. To design such a controller, we investigated a bio-inspired walking controller for orthoses and prostheses. We present (i) a S ...
