Light-Weight Wearable Gyroscopic Actuators Can Modulate Balance Performance and Gait Characteristics
A Proof-of-Concept Study
To affect functional relevant task-space gait parameters such as foot placement or progression angle, conventional lower-limb robotic gait rehabilitation devices require active control and synchronization of their actuators. As an alternative, we propose the use of gyroscopic ...
One important aspect of gait stability is the control of whole-body centroidal angular momentum H. We recently showed that if sensory-motor impairments affect a person's balance control, control of H can be assisted by control moment gyroscopes (CMGs). However, the effect of C ...

During gait neurorehabilitation, many factors influence the quality of gait patterns, particularly the chosen body-weight support (BWS) device. Consequently, robotic BWS devices play a key role in gait rehabilitation of people with neurological disorders. The device transparen ...

Weakness of the hip abduction muscles can result in a gait disorder named Trendelenburg gait, which can lead to problems in the hip joint, knees, and ankles. In this paper, the conceptual design of a compliant hip orthosis to prevent Trendelenburg gait is presented. A theoreti ...
