Biomechanical effects of ankle sprain orthoses

Figueroa Reymundo, Pedro (Wichita State University, 2017-12)

When treating grade III ankle sprains, patients are often instructed to immobilize the affected ligaments in order to allow reparative healing. However, signs of functional instability are apparent after long periods of ...
Design and development of a smart wheelchair-mounted robotic exoskeleton for people with reduced upper limb movements

Schabron, Bridget (Wichita State University, 2019-04-26)

INTRODUCTION: Cerebral Palsy, Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, and stroke not only often impair lower extremities, leading to reliance on wheelchairs, but also upper extremity mobility for such patients, severely limiting their ...
A method to identify the difference in kinematic behavior of human model lower extremities with respect to muscle activation during crash impact

Srinivas Indrani, Kishan; Hakansson, Nils A.; Lankarani, Hamid M. (Springer Netherlands, 2019-05-17)

The main objective of this study is to develop a computational human musculoskeletal model, used to investigate the change in the kinematic behavior of the model’s lower extremities under the influence of activated (active) ...
