Engineers at the University of Utah have introduced a lightweight robotic exoskeleton designed to help stroke survivors walk with greater stability and symmetry, addressing one of the most persistent challenges in post‑stroke rehabilitation. Many individuals who experience a stroke develop […]
A new invention from a University of Bristol scientist introduces a sensor‑rich shoe designed to monitor gait, balance, and mobility in older adults, inspired by the needs of the researcher’s own 89‑year‑old mentor. The project began when Professor Dave Bull
A research team at the University of British Columbia Okanagan has developed a lightweight wearable brace designed to reduce involuntary hand tremors associated with neurological conditions such as Parkinson’s disease. Hand tremors affect millions of people worldwide and can interfere
A research team at Virginia Commonwealth University is developing highly realistic hydrogel based rat brain models to better understand how physical forces travel through brain tissue during traumatic events. This work focuses on the physics of traumatic brain injury, an
