Background Stiff-Knee gait (SKG) after stroke is often accompanied by decreased knee
flexion angle during the swing phase. The decreased knee flexion has been hypothesized to …

Post-stroke gait is often accompanied by muscle impairments that result in adaptations such
as hip circumduction to compensate for lack of knee flexion. Our previous work robotically …

It has long been held that hip abduction compensates for reduced swing-phase knee flexion
angle, especially in those after stroke. However, there are other compensatory motions such …

In individuals with motor impairments such as those post-stroke or with cerebral palsy, the
function of the knee extensors may be affected during walking, resulting in decreased mobility. …

Exosuits have the potential to assist locomotion in both healthy and pathological populations,
but the effect of exosuit assistance on the underlying muscle-tendon tissue loading is not …

Hyperreflexia is common after neurological injury such as stroke, yet clinical interventions
have had mixed success. Our previous research has shown that hyperreflexia of the rectus …

Legged robots have significant advantages over other types of mobile robots when task at
hand requires the robot to overcome obstacles. This paper presents a reference trajectory …

In this paper, we present the design, characterization and preliminary testing of a soft inflatable
wearable device that can apply assistance in parallel with a wearer's abductor muscles. …

The two-legged humanoid structure has advantages for an assistive robot in the human
living and working environment. However, the control of bipedal walk is a challenge. Walking …

Wearable sensors provide a foundation for development of wearable robotic technology to
be used in clinical applications. Inertial motion capture (IMC) has emerged as a viable …
