#Motivation: to improve the quality of life of individuals with movement disorders
#Ambition: to extend the use of novel technologies to daily-life activities
👣💥 Take a look at our latest article within #inGAITproject! 💥 👣
In this study we evaluate the impact of a developed variable-stiffness orthosis (inGAIT-VSO) on the walking performance of children with cerebral palsy. (1/2)

This is the result of a great collaboration between @CARobotica_ , @UTwente , @UMRobotics and #HNJ.
Special congrats to Luc van Noort for the work done!!

We are at the @RehabWeekOrg presenting the comparison of two of the most important design principles of unpowered ankle-foot orthoses. Come to visit the poster P-085!
Excited to share our new review paper “Advances on mechanical designs for assistive ankle-foot orthoses” - out now in @FrontBioeng (1/2)

Tras una semana de descanso volvemos con un nuevo #JustSciencing de la mano de @CristinaBayc para aprender sobre exoesqueletos robóticos 🦾
Vamos, lo más parecido al traje de Iron Man para la rehabilitación ✌️🏻
🟣Martes a las 20h en #Twitch🟣
Interesting new preprint summarizing variations & advances in the mechanical design of wearable assistive ankle-foot orthoses:

Happy news! Our contribution "Perspectives on ankle-foot technology for improving gait performance of children with Cerebral Palsy in daily-life: requirements, needs and wishes" has been recently published at #JNeuroEngineeringAndRehab. @BioMedCentral

This exploratory research attempts to further understand the existing limitations of current AFOs to be used in daily-life. The needs and criteria reported here may serve as insights for the design of future assistive devices and for the follow-up monitoring of these patients.
46 Workshops on the first day of #RehabWeek2023!
Thanks to the incredible amount of high-quality workshop proposals we received, we were able to compile a thrilling workshop program 🤩

Yesterday we had the first opportunity to try one of the inGAIT prototypes with Thijmen (10 years old). He performed amazingly well during the test 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Looking forward to get the results!
Check out our article in JNER on an approach to disentangle the intrinsic and reflexive contributions to ankle joint hyper-resistance. Use of it demonstrated that Botulinum toxin-A effects on reflexive contributions are not so unambiguous @UTwente
