The BIOMEC Lab participated in the X Meeting of the Spanish Chapter of the European Society of Biomechanics

This annual meeting allows the different research groups to present their latest developments and encourages the presence of their youngest researchers. Moreover, several discussion forums are established between engineers and physicians and hospitals, since they are well aware of society’s needs in this field. But also, forums between the Network and industry are favoured, as they are able to develop the products that society demands.BIOMEC researchers presented a study of a device for improving the gait of children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. The study was developed as Paula Comas’ final degree [...]

New journal article “Systematic review on wearable lower‑limb exoskeletons for gait training in neuromuscular impairments”

Antonio Rodríguez, Joan Lobo and Josep Maria Font, from the BIOMEC Lab, have published the paper “Systematic review on wearable lower‑limb exoskeletons for gait training in neuromuscular impairments” in the Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation. The review provides a comprehensive overview on wearable lower-limb powered exoskeletons for overground training that are intended for use with people who have gait disorders due to neuromuscular impairments. The article also provides a thorough discussion regarding the current evidence on the clinical efficacy of this technology. The work has [...]
