Therapist-Exoskeleton-Patient Interaction for Gait Therapy
Emek BarıŠKüçüktabak, Matthew R. Short, Lorenzo Vianello +4
Following a stroke, individuals often experience mobility and balance impairments due to lower-limb weakness and loss of independent joint control. Gait recovery is a key goal of r…
Deep-Learning Estimation of Weight Distribution Using Joint Kinematics for Lower-Limb Exoskeleton Control
Clément Lhoste, Emek BarıŠKüçüktabak, Lorenzo Vianello +4
In the control of lower-limb exoskeletons with feet, the phase in the gait cycle can be identified by monitoring the weight distribution at the feet. This phase information can be…
Unidirectional Human-Robot-Human Physical Interaction for Gait Training
Lorenzo Amato, Lorenzo Vianello, Emek Baris Kucuktabak +6
This work presents a novel rehabilitation framework designed for a therapist, wearing an inertial measurement unit (IMU) suit, to virtually interact with a lower-limb exoskeleton w…
Exoskeleton-Mediated Physical Human-Human Interaction for a Sit-to-Stand Rehabilitation Task
Lorenzo Vianello, Emek BarıŠKüçüktabak, Matthew Short +4
Sit-to-Stand (StS) is a fundamental daily activity that can be challenging for stroke survivors due to strength, motor control, and proprioception deficits in their lower limbs. Ex…
