MovePort: Multimodal Dataset of EMG, IMU, MoCap, and Insole Pressure for Analyzing Abnormal Movements and Postures in Rehabilitation Training
MovePort: Multimodal Dataset of EMG, IMU, MoCap, and Insole Pressure for Analyzing Abnormal Movements and Postures in Rehabilitation Training 150 150 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)
In most real world rehabilitation training, patients are trained to regain motion capabilities with the aid of functional/epidural electrical stimulation (FES/EES), under the support of gravity-assist systems to prevent falls.… read more

Systematic Variation of Prosthetic Foot Spring Affects Center-of-Mass Mechanics and Metabolic Cost During Walking
Author(s)3: Karl E. Zelik, Steven H. Collins, Peter G. Adamczyk, Ava D. Segal, Glenn K. Klute, David C. Morgenroth, Michael E. Hahn, Michael S. Orendurff, Joseph M. Czerniecki, Arthur D. Kuo
Systematic Variation of Prosthetic Foot Spring Affects Center-of-Mass Mechanics and Metabolic Cost During Walking 1264 855 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)

Lower-limb amputees expend more energy to walk than non-amputees and have an elevated risk of secondary disabilities. Insufficient push-off by the prosthetic foot may be a contributing factor. We aimed…

Multi-directional Ankle Impedance During Standing Postures
Author(s)3: Guilherme A. Ribeiro, Lauren N. Knop, Mo Rastgaar
Multi-directional Ankle Impedance During Standing Postures 592 1000 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)
In this study, we estimated the multi-directional ankle mechanical impedance in two degrees-of-freedom (DOF) during standing, and determined how the stiffness, damping, and inertia vary with ankle angle and ankle torque at different postures. read more
Enhancing Mobility With Quasi-Passive Variable Stiffness Exoskeletons

Enhancing Mobility With Quasi-Passive Variable Stiffness Exoskeletons
Author(s)3: Amanda Sutrisno, David J. Braun
Enhancing Mobility With Quasi-Passive Variable Stiffness Exoskeletons 780 435 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)

  Shoes were invented to provide user comfort using rubber soles, despite marginal improvement in human mobility. Unlike shoes, current lower-limb exoskeletons use fixed stiffness springs to store and recycle…

Energy-Optimal Human Walking With Feedback-Controlled Robotic Prostheses: A Computational Study

Energy-Optimal Human Walking With Feedback-Controlled Robotic Prostheses: A Computational Study
Author(s)3: Matthew L. Handford, Manoj Srinivasan
Energy-Optimal Human Walking With Feedback-Controlled Robotic Prostheses: A Computational Study 500 250 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)

  Lower-limb amputees typically experience reduced mobility and higher metabolic rates than non-amputees. It may be possible to improve their mobility and metabolic rate with an optimized robotic prosthesis. Here,…
