Conference Proceedings of the IEEE Ras and EMBS International Conference on Biomedical Robotics and Biomechatronics · January 1, 2024 Locomotion requires careful coordination across the various joints and muscles of the body, which can be disrupted after neuromotor injuries such as stroke. People post-stroke often have weakness in their paretic, or more impaired, ankle plantarflexors and ... Full text Cite

Individualized Learning-Based Ground Reaction Force Estimation in People Post-Stroke Using Pressure Insoles.

Conference IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings] · September 2023 Stroke is a leading cause of gait disability that leads to a loss of independence and overall quality of life. The field of clinical biomechanics aims to study how best to provide rehabilitation given an individual's impairments. However, there remains a d ... Full text Cite

Automated detection of soleus concentric contraction in variable gait conditions for improved exosuit control

Conference Proceedings IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation · May 1, 2020 Exosuits can reduce metabolic demand and improve gait. Controllers explicitly derived from biological mechanisms that reflect the user's joint or muscle dynamics should in theory allow for individualized assistance and enable adaptation to changing gait. W ... Full text Cite

Analysis of the anklebot training as a method for reducing lower-limb paretic impairment a case study in electromyography

Conference IEEE International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics · September 28, 2015 This paper describes the results of a month-long case study of a stroke patient training with the anklebot conducted at the MIT Newman Laboratory for Biomechanics. The study provides promising evidence for reducing paretic impairment using the anklebot in ... Full text Cite
