Robotic Exoskeleton for Treatment of Crouch Gait in Children with Cerebral Palsy (CP)
Abstract: Crouch gait is a common disorder in pediatric cerebral palsy (CP). Effective treatment of crouch during childhood is critical to maintain mobility into adulthood. Current interventions do not alleviate crouch gait long-term for most patients. This technology relates to a powered exoskeleton designed for gait assistance. The powered assistance...

Passive Exoskeleton
­While advancements in exoskeletons have grown by leaps and bounds in the past decade or so, the majority still provide powered or active assistance, few provide a passive solution. However, many people have difficulty rising from the ground, bed, a chair or other similar surfaces because of knee or leg muscle injuries, aging, obesity, or even simply...

A Spherical Parallel Manipulator Architecture for Shoulder Robotic Exoskeleton
In robotic mechanisms, a parallel manipulator uses multiple actuated parallel linkages to synergistically control the motion of the end-effector. In comparison to the more common serial chain manipulator, parallel manipulators typically offer better end-effector performance in terms of precision, stiffness, velocity, and torque generation. Parallel...

Mechanism for Alleviating the Effects of Joint Misalignment Between Users and Wearable Robots
Joint misalignment between a wearable robotic joint and its user can result in detrimental mechanical interference. For small degrees of joint misalignment, this interference can result in fatigue and friction-related user injuries, such as irritant contact dermatitis. Large degrees of joint misalignment can result in more severe injuries such as bruising,...
