A Lightweight and Efficient Portable Soft Exosuit for Paretic Ankle Assistance in Walking After Stroke

ICRA 2018poster

Hemiparetic gait after stroke is typically asymmetric and energetically inefficient. A major contributor to walking deficits is impaired paretic ankle function. Impaired paretic ankle plantarflexion (PF) reduces forward propulsion symmetry and impaired paretic ankle dorsiflexion (DF) diminishes grou…

Autonomous Multi-Joint Soft Exosuit for Assistance with Walking Overground

ICRA 2018poster

Soft exosuits are a new approach for assisting with human locomotion, which applies assistive torques to the wearer through functional apparel. In this paper, we present a new version of autonomous multi-joint soft exosuit for gait assistance, particularly designed for overground walking. The soft e…
