In this abstract, we describe a mono-articular soft exosuit to assist with hip extension during overground walking. The system is comprised of a mobile Bowden-cabledriven electrical actuation unit, soft textiles, and a load cell and an inertia measurement unit per leg. The exosuit applies forces with a peak of 300N enabled by an IMU-based iterative control algorithm. This iterative controller d...

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...

objectives: this study describes a single subject design (aba) that shows the effective use of constraint induced movement therapy in improvement of quality and performance of in-hand manipulation skills for a 10 year old boy and a 9 years old girl with hemiplegic cerebral palsy, as dickerson (2007) showed it in arm movement and function. methods: to determine the effectiveness of cimt by the u...

OBJECTIVE To determine the effect of upper limb effort on maximal lower limb muscle activation in individuals with incomplete spinal cord injury. METHODS Fifteen individuals with incomplete spinal cord injury performed recumbent stepping using different combinations of upper and lower limb efforts. RESULTS There was no significant difference in active lower limb electromyography amplitudes ...
