DOI: 10.1152/physiol.2023.38.s1.5796080
Abstract: BACKGROUND: Lower extremity weight bearing is a key determinant in maintaining bone density and strength. Approximately 60% of individuals with chronic spinal cord injury use a wheelchair long-term as their primary mode of locomotion—leading to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1161/strokeaha.122.041480
Abstract: Background: Robot-assisted arm training is generally delivered in the robot-like manner of planar or mechanical 3-dimensional movements. It remains unclear whether integrating upper extremity (UE) natural coordinated patterns into a robotic exoskeleton can improve outcomes.… read more here.
