Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) causes permanent disabilities, such as foot drop. This condition affects the gait pattern, increasing the metabolic cost and risk of falling. Robotics with serious games has shown promising results in the gait rehabilitati... Read More about Neuro-rehabilitation therapy with T-FLEX ankle exoskeleton and serious games: A case study.

Mechanical assessment of novel compliant mechanisms for underactuated prosthetic hands (2023)
Journal Article
Ramos, O., de Arco, L., Cifuentes, C. A., Moazen, M., Wurdemann, H., & Múnera, M. (2023). Mechanical assessment of novel compliant mechanisms for underactuated prosthetic hands. Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 11, Article 985901. https://doi.org/10.3389/fbioe.2023.985901

This paper proposes novel compliant mechanisms for constructing hand prostheses based on soft robotics. Two models of prosthetic hands are developed in this work. Three mechanical evaluations are performed to determine the suitability of the two desi... Read More about Mechanical assessment of novel compliant mechanisms for underactuated prosthetic hands.

A fabric-based soft hand exoskeleton for assistance: the ExHand Exoskeleton (2023)
Journal Article
