DOI: 10.1109/tnsre.2022.3187056
Abstract: Most exoskeletons are designed to reduce the metabolic costs of performing aerobic tasks such as walking, running, and hopping. This study presents an exoskeleton that boosts vertical jumping—a fast, short movement during which the muscles… read more here.

Abstract: Recovery of function is among a patient’s main expectations when undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA). However, normal gait knee function is not always completely restored, which can affect patient satisfaction and quality of life. Computer-assisted… read more here.

DOI: 10.4081/ejtm.2022.10567
Abstract: The aim of our study was to assess eccentric-exercise-induced changes in passive knee joint torque, passive knee joint stiffness and shear modulus at of the hamstring muscles. We hypothesized that eccentric exercise would elicit an… read more here.
