• Design of a hydraulic ankle-foot orthosis 

      Gmerek, Artur; Meskin, Nader; Tehrani, Ehsan Sobhani; Kearney, Robert ( IEEE Computer Society , 2016 , Conference Paper)
      This paper presents the design and simulation of an ankle-foot orthosis (AFO) to assist human walking. Design requirements were established based on a quantitative study of published data, simulations of human walking, and ...
    • The characterization of the kinematic and dynamic properties of the ankle joint for an artificial ankle joint design 

      Gmerek, Artur; Meskin, Nader; Tehrani, Ehsan Sobhani; Kearney, Robert E. ( IEEE Computer Society , 2016 , Conference Paper)
      The kinematic and dynamic properties of the ankle joint (talocrural region) in normal subjects provide important information for the design of rehabilitation robots, below-knee prostheses, ankle-foot orthoses, and exoskeletons. ...
