Cable-driven exosuit to assist affected upper-limb users with hemiparesis (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Neurological impairments such as stroke cause muscular weakness in several joints in the human body. As a result, the development of activities of daily living (ADL) is affected. Particularly, upper limb movements executed with external loads are res... Read More about Cable-driven exosuit to assist affected upper-limb users with hemiparesis.

Data-driven approach for upper limb fatigue estimation based on wearable sensors (2023)
Journal Article

Muscle fatigue is defined as a reduced ability to maintain maximal strength during voluntary contraction. It is associated with musculoskeletal disorders that affect workers performing repetitive activities, affecting their performance and well-being...

Neuro-rehabilitation therapy with T-FLEX ankle exoskeleton and serious games: A case study (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

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

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

Introduction: The rise of soft robotics has driven the development of devices for assistance in activities of daily living (ADL). Likewise, different types of actuation have been developed for safer human interaction. Recently, textile-based pneumati...
