Robotic exoskeletons have demonstrated their effectiveness in post-stroke gait rehabilitation
therapy. Nevertheless, further research is being conducted to improve existing rehabilitation …

In this article, a novel lower extremity gait rehabilitation device with a single actuator is
presented. The proposed device, Mech-Walker, utilizes the single-degree of freedom eight …

Single degree-of-freedom mechanized gait trainers employing linkage mechanisms can
imitate the gait trajectory of the human user at a potentially lower cost than current …

This chapter demonstrates an innovative cervical collar device to facilitate patients suffering
from chronic pain in the neck. The novelty of the collar from existing collars is this device …

A novel methodology for the optimal path synthesis of mechanisms, particularly considering
a high number of linkages and prescribed timing of the desired path, is presented in this …

Active exoskeletons have been widely investigated to supplement and restore human hand
movements, but a significant limitation is that they have a complicated design requiring multi …

Relating geometric interpretations to analytic procedures for solving mechanical problems
improves their comprehension and gives a deeper insight on how to eliminate unwanted …

This paper addressed attention to the design of a new lower limb exoskeleton that can be
used for human gait assistance as based on kinematic considerations. The designed leg …

Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide, and the improvement of quality
of life and rehabilitation outcomes is a topic of interest for many researchers. To help in the …

A majority of robotic gait trainers to facilitate physical therapy for gait rehabilitation in
humans are based on multidegree-of-freedom exoskeleton-based systems with …
