Towards Wearable Electromyography for Personalized Musculoskeletal Trunk Models using an Inverse Synergy-based Approach

New research promises improved design and interfacing of exosuits Low back pain (LBP) is a leading cause of disability for occupational tasks involving repetitive lifting contributing to compressive forces on the lumbosacral joint. (EMG)-driven musculoskeletal (EMS) models offer a novel personalized approach to assess the compressive forces during lifting. However, these models typically rely on […]

New research promises improved design and interfacing of exosuits

New research promises improved design and interfacing of exosuits Orla Rispens has developed novel deep learning methods to improve the wearability and speed of measuring muscle activity as part of her master thesis at the Neuromuscular Robotics Chair at SWAG partner University of Twente. This has potential implications for improving design and interfacing of wearable assistive robots.

SWAG Project Launched to Revolutionise Soft Robotic Exosuits

SWAG Project Launched to Revolutionise Soft Robotic Exosuits The Horizon Europe funded SWAG project aims to set a new benchmark in motion assistive technologies, developing fully soft human-assistive exoskeletons. SWAG, standing for Soft Wearable Assistive Garments, will explore a fundamentally new approach to engineering soft wearable robots, that completely omit rigid materials in favour of soft, inflatable
