Can Leveraging Healthy Walking Patterns Improve Knee Function for Individuals with Weakened Knee Muscles?

Akbar Hojjati Najafabadi @Akbar-Hojjati-Najafabadi

06 January 2024 0 2K Report

The knee assistive system has been developed based on the pattern of walking in a healthy individual using fluidic muscles. We have aimed to utilize this pattern to enhance the functionality for individuals with weakened knee muscles. How effective can it be for individuals with weakened knee muscles? Will this project yield valuable outcomes?
