Effects of gait support in patients with spinocerebellar degeneration by a wearable robot based on synchronization control

Abstract Background Spinocerebellar degeneration (SCD) mainly manifests a cerebellar ataxic gait, leading to marked postural sway and the risk of falling down. Gait support using a wearable robot is expected to be an effective solution to m...

Statistical Inter-stimulus Interval Window Estimation for Transient Neuromodulation via Paired Mechanical and Brain Stimulation

For achieving motor recovery in individuals with sensorimotor deficits, augmented activation of the appropriate sensorimotor system, and facilitated induction of neural plasticity are essential. An emerging procedure that combines periphera...

Triangular Geometrized Sampling Heuristics for Fast Optimal Motion Planning

Rapidly-exploring Random Tree (RRT)-based algorithms have become increasingly popular due to their lower computational complexity as compared with other path planning algorithms. The recently presented RRT * motion planning algorithm improv...

THE SHAPING OF SOME LIFTING AND TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS, USING AUTODESK INVENTOR

The paper presents, through the use of Autodesk Inventor software package, several mechanisms from the structure of lifting and transportation machines, in this case lifting system with winch operated by screw,lifting system type with muffl...

Promoting inclusiveness in exoskeleton robotics: Addressing challenges for pediatric access

Pediatric access to exoskeletons lags far behind that of adults. In this article, we promote inclusiveness in exoskeleton robotics by identifying and addressing challenges and barriers to pediatric access to this potentially life-changing t...

Proactive Caching and Forwarding Schemes for Seamless Handover in IEEE WAVE Networks
