Patient Motion Using a Computerized Leg Brace in Everyday Locomotion Tasks

Exoskeletal systems are becoming a rehabilitation standard of care for persons with lower limb paralysis. As muscular dysfunctions affect a heterogeneous patient group, each individual develops their own strategy to negotiate everyday locomotion challenges ...

Balance Control Strategies during Standing in a Locked-Ankle Passive Exoskeleton

Hannes Bleuler, Mohamed Bouri, Jemina Fasola, Tristan Hubert Vouga, Romain Pierre François Baud

This paper investigates sensorimotor adaptation strategies of sagittal postural control in healthy subjects under kinematic constraints. A passive exoskeleton named CAPTUR, with locked ankle joints and legs motion restrained to the sagittal plane is used t ...

Stiffness Control With Shape Memory Polymer in Underactuated Robotic Origamis

Jamie Paik, Amir Firouzeh, Marco Salerno

Underactuated systems offer compact design with easy actuation and control but at the cost of limited stable con- figurations and reduced dexterity compared to the directly driven and fully actuated systems. Here, we propose a compact origamibased design i ...
