Trip Recovery in Lower-Limb Prostheses using Reachable Sets of Predicted Human Motion
Shannon M. Danforth, Patrick D. Holmes, Ram Vasudevan
People with lower-limb loss, the majority of which use passive prostheses, exhibit a high incidence of falls each year. Powered lower-limb prostheses have the potential to reduce f…
Emulating duration and curvature of coral snake anti-predator thrashing behaviors using a soft-robotic platform
Shannon M. Danforth, Margaret Kohler, Daniel Bruder +4
This paper presents a soft-robotic platform for exploring the ecological relevance of non-locomotory movements via animal-robot interactions. Coral snakes (genus Micrurus) and thei…
Characterizing the limits of human stability during motion: perturbative experiment validates a model-based approach for the Sit-to-Stand task
Patrick D. Holmes, Shannon M. Danforth, Xiao-Yu Fu +2
Falls affect a growing number of the population each year. Clinical methods to identify those at greatest risk for falls usually evaluate individuals while they perform specific mo…
Automated Camera-Based Estimation of Rehabilitation Criteria Following ACL Reconstruction
Choong Hee Kim, Shannon M. Danforth, Patrick D. Holmes +4
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction necessitates months of rehabilitation, during which a clinician evaluates whether a patient is ready to return to sports or occupati…
