Exoskeletons can augment the performance of unimpaired users and restore movement in
individuals with gait impairments. Knowledge of how users interact with wearable devices …

Gait disorders can reduce the quality of life for people with neuromuscular impairments.
Therefore, walking recovery is one of the main priorities for counteracting sedentary lifestyle …

Personalized exoskeleton assistance provides users with the largest improvements in
walking speed and energy economy,–but requires lengthy tests under unnatural laboratory …

Textiles have emerged as a promising class of materials for developing wearable robots that
move and feel like everyday clothing. Textiles represent a favorable material platform for …

Since the early 2000s, researchers have been trying to develop lower-limb exoskeletons
that augment human mobility by reducing the metabolic cost of walking and running versus …

Lower-limb prostheses aim to restore ambulatory function for individuals with lower-limb
amputations. While the design of lower-limb prostheses is important, this paper focuses on …

Exoskeletons and active prostheses promise to enhance human mobility, but few have
succeeded. Optimizing device characteristics on the basis of measured human performance …

Stroke-induced hemiparetic gait is characteristically slow and metabolically expensive.
Passive assistive devices such as ankle-foot orthoses are often prescribed to increase …

Walking and running have fundamentally different biomechanics, which makes developing
devices that assist both gaits challenging. We show that a portable exosuit that assists hip …

In individuals with lower-limb amputations, robotic prostheses can increase walking speed,
and reduce energy use, the incidence of falls and the development of secondary …
