Reducing Knee Joint Loads During Stance Phase with a Rigid-Soft Hybrid Exoskeleton
Reducing Knee Joint Loads During Stance Phase with a Rigid-Soft Hybrid Exoskeleton 150 150 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)
High mechanical loads generated during walking may accelerate the wear of the knee joint. General knee exoskeletons mainly reduce knee joint load by applying pure torque assistance to reduce the… read more

Synergy-Based Estimation of Balance Condition During Walking Tests
Synergy-Based Estimation of Balance Condition During Walking Tests 150 150 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)
In the area of human-machine interface research, the continuous estimation of the Center of Pressure (COP) in the human body can assess users’ balance conditions, thereby effectively enhancing the safety… read more

Myoelectric Fatigue and Motor-Unit Firing Patterns During Sinusoidal Vibration Superimposed on Low-Intensity Isometric Contraction
Myoelectric Fatigue and Motor-Unit Firing Patterns During Sinusoidal Vibration Superimposed on Low-Intensity Isometric Contraction 150 150 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)
Vibration exercise (VE) has shown promising results for improving muscle strength and power performance when superimposed on high-level muscle contraction. However, low-level contraction may be more preferable in many rehabilitation… read more

Personalized Alpha-Motoneuron Pool Models Driven by Neural Data Encode the Mechanisms Controlling Rate of Force Development
Personalized Alpha-Motoneuron Pool Models Driven by Neural Data Encode the Mechanisms Controlling Rate of Force Development 150 150 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)
The central nervous system employs distinct motor control strategies depending on task demands. Accordingly, the activity of alpha-motoneuron (MN) pools innervating skeletal muscle fibers is modulated based on muscle force… read more

Characterizing the Effects of Adding Virtual and Augmented Reality in Robot-Assisted Training
Characterizing the Effects of Adding Virtual and Augmented Reality in Robot-Assisted Training 150 150 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)
Extended reality (XR) technology combines physical reality with computer synthetic virtuality to deliver immersive experience to users. Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) are two subdomains within XR with… read more

AMBER: A Device for Hand Motor and Cognitive Rehabilitation—Development and Proof of Concept
AMBER: A Device for Hand Motor and Cognitive Rehabilitation—Development and Proof of Concept 150 150 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)
Stroke survivors usually exhibit concurrent motor and cognitive impairment. Historically, rehabilitation strategies post-stroke occur separately in terms of motor and cognitive functions. However, recent studies show that hand motor interventions… read more

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
