Lower-extremity hemiparesis, characterized by weakness or partial paralysis on one side of the body, significantly impacts a vast majority of stroke survivors. As a result, physical therapy intervention is crucial for the successful recovery and rehabilitation of a patient's gait cycle. During these sessions, physical therapists implement corrective...

For a rigid quadrotor, flying through constrained spaces often relies on computer vision techniques to execute aggressive maneuvers or performing real-time trajectory re-planning to avoid cluttered areas. Alternatively, a quadrotor can have an adaptive morphology, where a folding mechanism helps the quadrotor fly through narrow apertures. In previous...

There are many factors that can contribute to gait disorders including aging, injury, and neurological conditions. When considering gait rehabilitation, the ankle push-off phase is vital in a patient’s ability to walk and propel themselves forward. During this push-off phase, the planar flexor muscles provide a large amount of force to push the...
