Abstract Purpose of Review Wearable soft robotics has demonstrated many unique
capabilities in human assistance and augmentation. This paper discusses the recent trends …

Those with disabilities who have lost their legs must use a prosthesis to walk. However,
traditional prostheses have the disadvantage of being unable to move and support the …

Robotic gait training may improve overground ambulation for individuals with poor control
over pelvic motion. However, there is a need for an overground gait training robotic device …

Neuromuscular disorders, especially in patients with cerebral palsy (CP), lead to foot
deformities and affect foot biomechanics leading to compromised gait. Thus, the foot …

Freezing of gait is an episodic phenomena faced by many patients with Parkinson's disease.
It is characterized by episodes during which patients are unable to generate effective …

For amputees, amputation is a devastating experience. Transfemoral amputees require an
artificial lower limb prosthesis as a replacement for regaining their gait functions after …

Extracting stride length and velocity from wearable sensors is traditionally based on the
double integration of accelerometer data with zero velocity update (ZUPT) technique …

This paper proposes a scheme for predicting ground reaction force (GRF) and center of
pressure (CoP) using low-cost FSR sensors. GRF and CoP data are commonly collected …

Stroke is a leading cause of disability, impairing the ability to generate propulsive forces and
causing significant lateral gait asymmetry. We aim to improve stroke survivors' gaits by …

Wearable robots are designed to provide physical assistance and rehabilitation training.
Light-weight designs are desirable for human usage and parallel robots are quite suitable …
