Every movement requires the coordination of several muscles groups. Mechanosensors provide the necessary proprioceptive information to know the current state of the muscles, joints, and limb segments to perform motions successfully. The motor system activates the muscles accordingly to coordinate th
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 due to low moving inertia. One of the challenges of using wearable parallel robots is to compute the end-effector positio…
Gait training is widely used to treat gait abnormalities. Traditional gait measurement systems are limited to instrumented laboratories. Even though gait measurements can be made in these settings, it is challenging to estimate gait parameters robustly in real-time for gait rehabilitation, especiall…
Improving functional motor deficits in patients with neurological and musculoskeletal disorders has been a primary objective of rehabilitation. Task-oriented training in physical environments is a leading approach for rehab training utilizing tasks that are challenging, adaptable, and meaningful. Al
Various leg exoskeletons have been designed for gait rehabilitation. The transparency of these exoskeletons is crucial to their effectiveness in gait training. The weight and inertia of an exoskeleton are two important factors affecting its transparency. In this study, using a light-weight leg exosk…
