An Exoneuromusculoskeleton for Self-Help Upper Limb Rehabilitation After Stroke

Chingyi Nam et al.

Summary: This article presents a novel electromyography (EMG)-driven exoneuromusculoskeleton that integrates the neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES), soft pneumatic muscle, and exoskeleton techniques, for self-help upper limb training after stroke. The developed system provides significant improvement in limb performance and muscular coordination, supporting self-help upper limb rehabilitation after stroke.

Unfolding Textile-Based Pneumatic Actuators for Wearable Applications

Ciaran T. O'Neill et al.

Summary: Textile-based pneumatic actuators have been developed for wearable applications due to their high strength to weight ratio, with investigations into the actuation mechanics of these actuators revealing distinct performance regimes such as Shearing, Creasing, and Flattening. The study aims to understand how geometric parameters of the actuators affect the generated moment, with results showing that the actuators can generate useful on-body moments in wearable applications.

Soft, Wearable, and Pleated Pneumatic Interference Actuator Provides Knee Extension Torque for Sit-to-Stand

Allan Joshua Veale et al.

Summary: Soft wearable actuators provide a personalized, ergonomic, and cooperative physical interface between machines and humans. A soft structure known as PPIA can stably and comfortably apply sufficient knee extension torque for sit-to-stand actions. Despite showing potential for complete support when worn by humans, further development is needed to improve torque model accuracy.
