A neuromechanics-based powered ankle exoskeleton to assist walking post-stroke: a feasibility study

Takahashi, K. Z., Lewek, M. D., & Sawicki, G. S. (2015, January 1). Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation.

By: K. Takahashi n, M. Lewek * & G. Sawicki n

author keywords: Stroke; Exoskeleton; Gait; Rehabilitation; Ankle
MeSH headings : Aged; Aged, 80 and over; Ankle; Ankle Joint; Artificial Limbs; Biomechanical Phenomena; Bionics; Electromyography; Energy Metabolism; Feasibility Studies; Female; Foot; Humans; Male; Mechanical Phenomena; Middle Aged; Paresis / rehabilitation; Prosthesis Design; Robotics; Stroke Rehabilitation; Walking
topics (OpenAlex): Stroke Rehabilitation and Recovery; Muscle activation and electromyography studies; Spinal Cord Injury Research
TL;DR: This feasibility study demonstrated that the exoskeleton can enhance paretic ankle moment, and appeared to reduce the net metabolic power gradually with each 5 minute repetition, though no statistical significance was found. (via Semantic Scholar)

2015 article

Six degree-of-freedom analysis of hip, knee, ankle and foot provides updated understanding of biomechanical work during human walking

Zelik, K. E., Takahashi, K. Z., & Sawicki, G. S. (2015, March 15). Journal of Experimental Biology.

By: K. Zelik *, K. Takahashi n & G. Sawicki n

author keywords: Biomechanics; Foot work; Gait analysis; Inverse dynamics; Joint work; Mechanical work
MeSH headings : Adult; Ankle Joint / physiology; Biomechanical Phenomena; Female; Foot / physiology; Hip Joint / physiology; Humans; Knee Joint / physiology; Male; Walking; Young Adult
topics (OpenAlex): Muscle activation and electromyography studies; Prosthetics and Rehabilitation Robotics; Cerebral Palsy and Movement Disorders
TL;DR: Six degree-of-freedom (6DOF) analysis of hip–knee–ankle–foot better captures energy changes of the body during gait than conventional 3DOF joint work estimates, revealing increased work contributions from the hip. (via Semantic Scholar)
