A new method uses artificial intelligence and computer simulations to train robotic exoskeletons to autonomously help users save energy while walking, running, and climbing stairs. “This work proposes ...

Soft robotic exosuits could assist divers’ kicks and lower breathing demand, but practical deployment needs better gear ...

A prospective pilot study of four acute-phase stroke patients in Japan found that gait training with the Hybrid Assistive ...

While a wearable technology that assists the lower back muscles has great potential to cut down on workplace injuries, it needs to be further investigated, says new Brock University-led research.

Exoskeletons are emerging as a powerful ergonomics tool, but questions remain about fit, task matching, worker acceptance, and long-term impact. Here’s what safety leaders should weigh before adopting ...

New studies point to the importance of early intervention and biomechanical innovations in reducing long-term disability risks, especially among younger workers. As musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) ...
