... contact forces, crucial for safe and efficient wall climbing. Drawing insights from animal locomotion and biomechanics, we present a comprehensive dynamic model for quadruped robots. Our model, built upon multibody dynamics and a dynamic contact model based on spiny claw mechanisms, accurately simulates...

... to the specific patient’s motor function. The system is portable by means of a backpack that contains an embedded computer board, the motor drivers, and the battery. A preliminary biomechanical evaluation of the gait-assistive device used by a female patient with incomplete spinal cord injury at T11 is presented...

...Peter A. Halverson; Anton E. Bowden; Larry L. Howell Injury, instrumentation, or surgery may change the functional biomechanics of the spine. Adverse changes at one level may affect the adjacent levels. Modeling these changes can increase the understanding of adjacent-level effects and may help...
