An agile, untethered, and easy-to-use ankle exosuit could help stroke survivors improve their gait outside of the lab and during their daily routines, according to a new proof-of-concept study led by Conor Walsh's team at @harbiodeslab. https://t.co/AnbCWd7EFF @walshharvard

In a joint study between @UW_NMBL and the @Harvard Biodesign Lab, we used shear wave tensiometry to directly measure Achilles tendon force changes during load carriage and #exosuit assistance. @SciRobotics https://t.co/FU68aEGmKC

New paper alert! We investigated how small changes in the onset time of belt acceleration #perturbations affects step placement and margin of stability. Great work by Pawel Golyski, Esmeralda Vazquez, @jenniferleestma, @gregory_sawicki.

Thank you to @FranzBiomech for a nice focus commentary on the topic. https://t.co/1P4CfPNqWn 8/8

Our new article in @SciRobotics shows how direct measures of calf muscle dynamics can be used to individualize ankle exosuit assistance for multiple walking tasks and reduce the metabolic cost of walking with relatively low forces. https://t.co/yWBcq2hlC5 1/8

We examine changes in joint power during up and downhill walking and running. Then suggest methods for how gait mechanics can be used as a roadmap to guide wearable robotic design. https://t.co/RhcHb0kqj3
