A Gluteus-Specific Muscle Synergy Recruited During the First Recovery Step Following a Backward Pitch Perturbation

A Gluteus-Specific Muscle Synergy Recruited During the First Recovery Step Following a Backward Pitch Perturbation 150 150 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)
The central nervous system momentarily activates a set of specific muscle synergies to maintain balance when external mechanical perturbations induce walking instability, which is critically involved in preventing falls. The… read more

Wearable-Enabled Algorithms for the Estimation of Parkinson’s Symptoms Evaluated in a Continuous Home Monitoring Setting Using Inertial Sensors

Wearable-Enabled Algorithms for the Estimation of Parkinson’s Symptoms Evaluated in a Continuous Home Monitoring Setting Using Inertial Sensors 150 150 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)
Motor symptoms such as tremor and bradykinesia can develop concurrently in Parkinson’s disease; thus, the ideal home monitoring system should be capable of tracking symptoms continuously despite background noise from… read more

Evaluation of the Achilles Ankle Exoskeleton 780 435 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)

This paper evaluates the Achilles exoskeleton. The exoskeleton is intended to provide push-off assistance for healthy subjects during walking. The assistance is provided by a series elastic actuator that has…
