ExoNET for Gait
Is it possible to use a network of springs to make up for what the muscles do during walking and hence assist gait? This study shows the potential of the ExoNET device to reproduce the torques generated by your muscles while you walk. We feel that this structural design can guide devices in the future and may lead to clinical tools that are lightweight, unintimidating, easy to use, and inexpensive.

Stiff Knee Gait and Rectus Transfer
The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship of the hip power in 3D Gait Analysis to select a set of preoperative gait features that distinguished between good (i.e., no longer stiff) and poor (i.e., remaining stiff) postoperative outcomes after rectus transfer surgery in children with Cerebral Palsy.
