Mechanical bracing solutions to decrease tibial slippage of Anklebot
Anklebot is a general-purpose therapeutic robot designed to guide the human ankle through motions with appropriate assistance. Anklebot relies on accurate position feedback from its actuators, which may or may not be corrupted due to slippage of Anklebot. This study seeks to quantify the slippage …

The measurement and interpretation of actively modulated static ankle impedance using a therap[e]utic robot
… were obtained using a therapeutic robot, Anklebot, and an electromyographic recording system. Important features of ankle impedance, and their variation with muscle activity, are discussed, including magnitude, symmetry and directions of minimum and maximum impedance. Voluntary muscle …

Biomechanical changes to human locomotion due to asymmetric loading of the legs
… study explored attaching a rehabilitative anklebot to subjects walking on a treadmill and observed duration, kinematic, and electromyography data to determine the biomechanical response to the asymmetric loading. The present report identified various gait cycle parameters that changed as a …

Ankle mechanical impedance under muscle fatigue
… ankle torque generated by a backdrivable robot, Anklebot, which interacts with the ankle in two degrees of freedom. Median frequencies of surface electromyographic (EMG) signals collected from tibialis and triceps surae muscle groups were evaluated to assess muscle fatigue. Using a standard …

Kinematic study of human ankle control during walking
… were made using an exoskeletal robot, called the Anklebot, originally designed for rehabilitation purposes. The electromyogram of anterior tibialis, peroneus longus, and gastrocnemius muscles was also recorded. Results showed that all subjects plantarflexed their foot at a higher velocity after …
