Knee exoskeletons have gained increasing attention for gait training and intervention. The effectiveness of conventional rigid is degraded by bulkiness, high inertia, joint misalignment. soft configurations relax the constraints on knee joint, thus circumvent misalignment issue, reduce system size weight. However, sacrifice load sharing capability from support, also mechanical stop constraining working range to avoid unsafe hyperextension. This article presents a novel rigid-soft hybrid...

In this paper, we aim to investigate the effect of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF)-based rehabilitation for ankle plantar flexors spasticity by using a Robotic Ankle-foot Rehabilitation System (RARS). A modified robot-assisted system was proposed, and seven poststroke patients with hemiplegic spastic ankles participated in 3-month robotic PNF training. Their impaired sides were used as experimental group, while their unimpaired control group. intervention group started from...

Robotic platform-based ankle–foot rehabilitation systems have been proved effective in treating joint spasticity and/or contracture of stroke survivors. However, simple force or velocity limiters are not adequate, since they cannot explicitly guarantee slow and overdamped motions without overshoot. In this paper, we propose a proxy-based sliding mode control (PSMC)-based approach, to avoid unsafe behaviors robotic system. The proposed method has three advantages: (1) deteriorating tracking...

High mechanical loads generated during walking may accelerate the wear of knee joint. General exoskeletons mainly reduce joint load by applying pure torque assistance to force required extensor muscles. This study aims further early and middle stance phases through a gait intervention strategy that combines vertical assistance. Comprehensive experiments were conducted verify in reducing load. The results demonstrated significantly reduced maximum mean phases. Our studies indicated have...
