TAGGED WITH rehabilitation
AI-powered artificial muscles made from pliable materials are reshaping recovery, from stroke rehabilitation to prosthetic design. These machines help people regain motion, strength, and confidence.
Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed an innovative hand exoskeleton that helps persons after stroke re-learn how to grasp. Its accordion-like structure makes it light, robust and easy to integrate into everyday life.
The affordable wearable measures foot pressure and could improve stroke and Parkinson's therapy.
In this episode, we cover Harvard's soft wearable robot that learns a patient's intent and provides just-enough support, helping stroke and ALS patients regain independence in everyday tasks.
TAGGED WITH prosthetic
