This study explores the impact of kinematic constraints imposed by exoskeletons on user gait, stability, and perceived discomfort. Specifically, it examines how the varying degrees of freedom (DoF) in an ankle exoskeleton influence these factors. The exoskeleton utilized in this study can be configured to allow one, two, or three DoF, thereby simulating different levels of mechanical complexity and kinematic compatibility. A pilot study was conducted with six participants walking on a straight path to evaluate these effects. The findings indicate that increasing DoF of the exoskeleton improves several criteria, including kinematics and stability. In particular, the transition from 1 DoF to 2 DoF yielded a larger improvement than the transition from 2 DoF to 3 DoF, although the 3 DoF configuration produced the best overall results. Higher DoF configurations also resulted in stability values that resemble more closely those of walking without the exoskeleton, despite the added weight. Subjective feedback from participants corroborated these results, indicating the lowest discomfort with the 3 DoF ankle exoskeleton.","PeriodicalId":73318,"journal":{"name":"IEEE transactions on medical robotics and bionics","volume":"7 1","pages":"114-122"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143529879","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, repetitive manipulation of heavy loads can disrupt balance and lead to strains and injuries on the body, causing issues such as back pain. This concern is particularly significant in jobs involving awkward postures, e.g., aircraft and vehicle assembly and maintenance. To help address this challenge, we present a comprehensive scoping review examining robots capable of supporting physical balance in healthy individuals. Our analysis involved evaluating their capabilities, observing their functionality, and assessing their practicality. The majority of our findings (81%) were lower body exoskeletons, which, though highly mobile, can be constrained by slow control systems. Conversely, supernumerary robotic limbs and wearable gyroscopes allow unrestricted movement with less constrained control systems. Many experiments lack baseline comparisons without the robot, and some have limited participant recruitment, affecting representation. We recommend universally available testing procedures to effectively demonstrate and compare the capabilities of balance-supporting robots.","PeriodicalId":73318,"journal":{"name":"IEEE transactions on medical robotics and bionics","volume":"7 1","pages":"213-229"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143521533","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These exoskeletons, which closely couple with patients’ limbs, need to move in harmony with the endoskeleton motions. To achieve coordination, exoskeletons should be transparent; in other words, they should not interfere with natural human motion or their underlying coordination strategies. Transparency can be achieved through a bio-inspired exoskeleton design and also by implementing appropriate force control methods to maneuver exoskeleton motions. A new hybrid active-passive Gait Exoskeleton-Assisted Rehabilitation (GEAR) robot is presented here for the rehabilitation of lower limb disabilities. The GEAR robot is designed to enhance transparency incorporating a flexible hip joint and a biomimetic knee joint. The proposed GEAR robot also integrates a Remote Centered Motion (RCM) based passive mechanism to support torso and pelvic motions in two planes and features actuated exoskeleton legs in the sagittal plane for treadmill-assisted walking. The exoskeleton legs are actuated at their hip and knee joints using backdrivable actuators. To provide a natural walking experience, the hip joints of the exoskeleton legs offer two passive degrees of freedom in the frontal and transverse planes in addition to the actuated sagittal plane motion. The biomimetic design of the exoskeleton knee joint ensures alignment with the human anatomical knee joint by closely tracking the latter’s instantaneous center of rotation (ICR). To evaluate GEAR robot’s transparency, a comparative study was conducted, involving three healthy subjects. The participants walked freely on a treadmill and then with the GEAR robot operated first in a completely backdrivable (i.e., passive) mode and subsequently in an active mode. The sEMG data collected during these experiments were analyzed to assess robot’s transparency.","PeriodicalId":73318,"journal":{"name":"IEEE transactions on medical robotics and bionics","volume":"7 1","pages":"290-302"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143521347","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study proposed a novel muscle synergy-based musculoskeletal model (MM) for prediction of hand and wrist movements, including wrist flexion/extension, wrist adduction/abduction, wrist pronation/supination, and metacarpophalangeal (MCP) flexion/extension. Ten limb-intact subjects were recruited for the offline experiment, and 15-channel EMG signals from the subject’s forearm were recorded. Using the non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) algorithm, four pairs of excitation signals were extracted from the multi-channel EMG signals. Then the MM driven by the extracted muscle excitations was adopted to predict hand and wrist movements. The proposed method was compared with the NMF algorithm and artificial neural network (ANN), and the prediction performance of the three was evaluated with Pearson’s correlation coefficient (r) and normalized root mean square error (NRMSE). The total average r of the proposed MM was 0.8475 across all subjects and all movement types, approximately 0.123 higher than NMF algorithm and 0.106 higher than ANN. In addition, the total average NRMSE of the proposed MM was 0.16125 across all subjects and all movement types, approximately 0.074 lower than NMF algorithm and 0.037 lower than ANN. In brief, the proposed MM showed significantly improved prediction accuracy over the NMF algorithm and ANN. This study provides a promising approach for the control of robotic arms and prostheses in EMG-based HMIs.","PeriodicalId":73318,"journal":{"name":"IEEE transactions on medical robotics and bionics","volume":"7 1","pages":"337-346"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143521430","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Geometrically varying stiffness profiles provide additional design freedom to influence the motions and workspaces of continuum robots. These results are timely, because with recent rapid advancements in multimaterial additive manufacturing techniques, it is now straightforward to create more complex stiffness profiles in robots. The key insight of this paper is to project forces and moments applied to the robot onto its center of stiffness (i.e., the Young’s modulus-weighted center of each cross section). We show how the center of stiffness can be thought of as analogous to a “precurved backbone” in a robot with uniform stiffness. This analogy enables a large body of prior work in Cosserat Rod modeling of such robots to be applied directly to those with stiffness variations. We experimentally validate this approach using multimaterial, soft, tendon-actuated robots. Lastly, to illustrate how these results can be used in practice, we investigate how stiffness variation can improve performance in a neurosurgical task.","PeriodicalId":73318,"journal":{"name":"IEEE transactions on medical robotics and bionics","volume":"7 1","pages":"392-403"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10759847","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143521426","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These gait deviations reduce speed and efficiency while increasing the risk of falls and osteoarthritis. Powered ankle exoskeletons have the potential to address these issues. However, only a handful of studies have investigated their effects on hemiparetic gait. The results are often inconsistent, and the biomechanical analysis rarely includes the knee or hip joint or a direct clearance measure. In this case study, we assess the ankle, knee, and hip biomechanics with and without a new autonomous powered ankle exoskeleton across different speeds and inclines. Exoskeleton assistance resulted in more normative kinematics at the subject’s self-selected walking speed. The paretic ankle angle at heel strike increased from 10° plantarflexed without the exoskeleton to 0.5° dorsiflexed with the exoskeleton, and the peak plantarflexion angle during swing decreased from 28° without the exoskeleton to 12° with the exoskeleton. Furthermore, stance knee flexion increased from 7° without the exoskeleton to 20° with the exoskeleton. Finally, foot clearance increased with the exoskeleton for all conditions between 3.1 cm and 5.4 cm.

However, to advance technology from labs to workplaces, there is a need for sensor reduction to improve wearability and applicability. Therefore we introduce an EMG sensor reduction approach based on inverse synergy extrapolation, to reconstruct unmeasured EMG signals for different box-lifting techniques. 12 participants performed an array of tasks (squat, stoop, unilateral twist and bilateral twist) with different weights (0 kg, 7.5 kg and 15 kg). We found that two synergies were sufficient to explain the different lifting tasks (median variance accounted for of 0.91). Building upon this, we used two sensors at optimal subject-specific muscle locations to reconstruct the EMG of four unmeasured channels. Evaluation of the reconstructed and reference EMG showed median coefficients of determination <inline-formula> <tex-math>$(R^{2})$ </tex-math></inline-formula> between 0.70 and 0.86, with median root mean squared errors (RMSE) ranging from 0.02 to 0.04 relative to maximal voluntary contraction.

Structurally, the design incorporates a multi-link coupling mechanism driven by a single motor equipped with a series elastic actuator (SEA). The SEA enables bidirectional compliant drive and fore feedback without the need for a force sensor. The connecting rod is optimized to facilitate the natural flexion and extension of the fingers. For control, an admittance control strategy based on real-time fusion of electromyography (EMG) and electroencephalogram (EEG) signals is proposed. EMG signals are used to estimate muscle strength and control the movement of the exoskeleton. EEG signals reflect the active intention of the subjects, and admittance control adjusts the rehabilitation strategy in real-time. For the first time, the degree of concentration is used as a parameter for subject adjustment of rehabilitation training. Finally, experiments on stiffness calibration, muscle force estimation, and admittance control based on EEG-EMG fusion were conducted. The results indicate that the normalized root-mean-square-error (NRMSE) of stiffness calibration is 8.32%. The average inconsistence of concentration and joint torque (ICJT) is 73.18%.

This phase information can be used in the exoskeleton’s controller to compensate the dynamics of the exoskeleton and to assign impedance parameters. Typically the weight distribution is calculated using data from sensors such as treadmill force plates or insole force sensors. However, these solutions increase both the setup complexity and cost. For this reason, we propose a deep-learning approach that uses a short time window of joint kinematics to predict the weight distribution of an exoskeleton in real time. The model was trained on treadmill walking data from six users wearing a four-degree-of-freedom exoskeleton and tested in real time on three different users wearing the same device. This test set includes two users not present in the training set to demonstrate the model’s ability to generalize across individuals.
