Biomechanical mechanisms underlying exosuit-induced improvements in walking economy after stroke.
Stroke-induced hemiparetic gait is characteristically asymmetric and metabolically expensive. Weakness and impaired control of the paretic ankle contribute to reduced forward propulsion and ground clearance - walking subtasks critical for safe and efficient locomotion. Targeted gait interventions that improve paretic ankle function after stroke are therefore warranted. We have developed textile...
متن کاملComparison of Ankle Moment Inspired and Ankle Positive Power Inspired Controllers for a Multi - articular Soft Exosuit for Walking Assistance
Mobility can be limited due to age or impairments. Wearable robotics provide the chance to increase mobility and thus independence. A powered soft exosuit was designed that assist with both ankle plantarflexion and hip flexion through a multi-articular suit architecture. So far, the best method to reduce metabolic cost of human walking with external forces is unknown. Two basic control strategi...
متن کاملAssistance magnitude versus metabolic cost reductions for a tethered multiarticular soft exosuit
When defining requirements for any wearable robot for walking assistance, it is important to maximize the user’s metabolic benefit resulting from the exosuit assistance while limiting the metabolic penalty of carrying the system’s mass. Thus, the aim of this study was to isolate and characterize the relationship between assistance magnitude and the metabolic cost of walking while also examining...
متن کاملA biologically inspired soft exosuit for walking assistance
We present the design and evaluation of a multi-articular soft exosuit that is portable, fully autonomous, and provides assistive torques to the wearer at the ankle and hip during walking. Traditional rigid exoskeletons can be challenging to perfectly align with a wearer’s biological joints and can have large inertias, which can lead to the wearer altering their natural motion patterns. Exosuit...
متن کاملA soft robotic exosuit improves walking in patients after stroke.
Stroke-induced hemiparetic gait is characteristically slow and metabolically expensive. Passive assistive devices such as ankle-foot orthoses are often prescribed to increase function and independence after stroke; however, walking remains highly impaired despite-and perhaps because of-their use. We sought to determine whether a soft wearable robot (exosuit) designed to supplement the paretic l...
