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…
