Neuromechanical Adaptation to Walking with Electromechanical Ankle Exoskeletons Under Proportional Myoelectric Control

Neuromechanical Adaptation to Walking with Electromechanical Ankle Exoskeletons Under Proportional Myoelectric Control 1978 2560 IEEE Open Journal of Engineering in Medicine and Biology (OJEMB)
Objective: To determine if robotic ankle exoskeleton users decrease triceps surae muscle activity when using proportional myoelectric control, we studied healthy young participants walking with commercially available electromechanical ankle exoskeletons… read more

Walking Faster and Farther With a Soft Robotic Exosuit: Implications for Post-Stroke Gait Assistance and Rehabilitation 185 174 IEEE Open Journal of Engineering in Medicine and Biology (OJEMB)
Soft robotic exosuits can improve the mechanics and energetics of walking after stroke. Building on this prior work, we evaluated the effects of the first prototype of a portable soft robotic exosuit. read more
