Article Synopsis
- * This side-pushing method creates challenges requiring continuous effort to maintain direction; thus, modifications to the front castor wheel were studied to alleviate this.
- * Experimental results confirm that altering castor wheel dimensions can allow for side-pushing without extra force, and the findings could influence various wheeled applications beyond just wheelchairs.
Falling is a major cause of morbidity, and is often caused by a decrease in postural stability. A key component of postural stability is whole-body centroidal angular momentum, which can be influenced by control moment gyroscopes. In this proof-of-concept study, we explore the influence of our wearable robotic gyroscopic actuator "GyroPack" on the balance performance and gait characteristics of non-impaired individuals (seven female/eight male, 30 ± 7 years, 68.
