Taking steps toward ankle rehabilitation using soft robotics
"To support people in recovery, three student researchers have been working to create a soft robotic ankle-foot orthosis, or SR-AFO, exosuit that assists with lower-limb gait rehabilitation.

Their project is funded by the Global Sport Institute at ASU."
