Muscular fatigue as a risk factor for spasticity during powered lower-limb exoskeleton training in spinal cord injury.
How to Use Robots in Rehabilitation- Medical Sciences (MDPI)
- 30 subjects
- sEMG + IMU

Research Outputs
A running record of what we have produced — peer-reviewed articles, open datasets and the tools built along the way.
From 2022 to 2026 — from a completed exoskeleton usability study through to a proposal awaiting funding touching prodromal biomarker for early detection of neurodegenerative disease. The line traces how sure we are of each one.
Muscular fatigue as a risk factor for spasticity during powered lower-limb exoskeleton training in spinal cord injury.
How to Use Robots in Rehabilitation
Predicting physical activity levels from kinematic gait data with machine learning — a ~20% accuracy gain after feature selection.
Data-driven Personalised Intervention
Complexity-based sEMG features for monitoring muscular fatigue and injury risk in multidirectional sport.
Predicting Injuries in Sports
Synchronised cross-modal signatures as a prodromal biomarker for neurodegenerative disease. EIC Pathfinder Open — proposed, not yet run.
