This $200,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation supports fundamental research at Rowan University in Glassboro, New Jersey to develop active methods for preventing slip-induced falls. The research aims to establish an understanding of how an assistive exoskeleton device can cooperate with the human body to prevent falls during gait perturbations. The project will create a novel bidirectional control...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (TIP) program (CFDA 47.084) provides $305,000 to Steadi Systems, LLC for the development of an innovative solution to improve balance health across the population. The project, titled "STEADI-SCORES: Translating Balance Science into Clinical Action for Proactive Balance Training," aims to design a portable and affordable platform that individuals of all ages can use at home or...
This $1,014,608 cooperative agreement from the National Science Foundation will support Evolution Devices Inc. in developing a cost-effective markerless motion 3D-tracking system for gait analysis. Under the NSF's Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships program (CFDA 47.084), the awardee will address barriers that restrict comprehensive gait analysis to only a few clinical centers. Technical activities include expanding the motion database to include diverse populations like children and...
This $486,830 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) provides funding to the University of Delaware for research aimed at enhancing post-stroke gait recovery. The project will utilize the Variable Stiffness Treadmill 2 (VST 2) to introduce personalized perturbations to the walking surface, with the goal of improving balance, propulsion, and symmetry in the gait of stroke survivors. The researchers will develop a multi-layer...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded the University of Alabama a $549,546 Project Grant under the Partnerships for Innovation - Research Partnerships (PFI-RP) program (CFDA 47.084). The 3-year project (08/01/2023 - 07/31/2026) aims to develop an affordable, powered lower-limb prosthetic device that provides versatile multi-modal operation to significantly improve mobility and quality of life for amputees. Key innovations include a novel common-core-components knee-ankle prosthesis...
This $720,000 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Information and Intelligent Systems (CFDA 47.070 - Computer and Information Science and Engineering) will develop a novel robotic ankle-foot orthosis (exoskeleton) system to assist older adults' mobility and gait ability in real-world ambulation. The project at North Carolina State University aims to design and fabricate a compact, lightweight robotic ankle-foot orthosis to provide powered assistance and enhance ankle...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $275,000 Project Grant under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program to Orthomechanica, Inc. This SBIR Phase I grant is supporting the development of a novel implantable medical device for restoring movement and recovery during reconstructive surgery. The key objectives are to design, fabricate, and validate a prototype implant that can chronically integrate with tendons to reroute movement from a single tendon to...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a 5-year, $465,009 CAREER grant to the University of Florida (UF) Division of Sponsored Research to develop a novel neuromechanical simulation framework for improving gait rehabilitation design and prescription. The project aims to model how patients adapt to error-augmentation based gait training interventions that challenge and retrain walking balance control. The research activities include capturing muscle activity and kinematics data from...
