RISReview of Triangular Cross Section Truss Systems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The structural advantages and aesthetics of a triangular cross section truss have long been recognized by structural engineers and architects alike. Until recently however, it has not been considered cost effective to ...
Design of a Triangular Cross‐Section Bridge Truss
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The structural advantages and aesthetics of a triangular cross‐section truss have long been recognized by structural engineers and architects alike. Until recently, however, it has not been considered cost‐effective to ...
Preliminary Design and Engineering Evaluation of a Hydraulic Ankle–Foot Orthosis
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Ankle foot orthoses (AFOs) are used to correct motor impairments of the ankle. While current AFOs are passive, advances in technology and wearable robotics have opened the opportunity for a powered AFO. The hydraulic ankle ...
Design and Simulation of a Pneumatic, Stored-energy, Hybrid Orthosis for Gait Restoration
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Loss of mobility due to lower limb paralysis is a common result of thoracic level spinal cord injury. Functional electrical stimulation (FES) can restore primitive gait in the vicinity of a ...
Analysis of Small Scale Hydraulic Actuation Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: We investigated smallscale hydraulic power actuation systems using a system level analysis, where smallscale refers to systems generating 10 to 100 W output power, to determine whether the high power density advantage of ...
Introduction

Introduction
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The following abstracts were presented as posters at the 2008 Design of Medical Devices conference held April 15–17, 2008 at the Radisson University Hotel, adjacent to the University of Minnesota ...
Small-Scale Hydraulics for Human Assist Devices
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Motivation: Human assist devices such as hand tools and orthotics require high force, low speed, compact size, and light weight, which match hydraulics. Traditionally, hydraulic systems are used ...

Single Channel Hybrid FES Gait Assist System
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Loss of mobility due to lower limb paralysis is common consequence of thoracic level spinal cord injury (SCI). In the US there are approximately 253,000 persons with SCI. The wheelchair is ...
