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 [...]

Míriam Febrer, Roger Pallarès and Josep Maria Font, from the BIOMEC Lab, have published the paper “Prediction of three-dimensional crutch walking patterns using a torque-driven model” in the journal Multibody System Dynamics. This research has been carried out in collaboration with B.J. Fregly from the Rice Computational Biomechanics Lab (USA), within the framework of the HYBOR project and a Leonardo Grant for Researchers and Cultural Creators. The article is available using the following link: https://rdcu.be/b5jeY Abstract Computational prediction of 3D crutch-assisted walking patterns is [...]
