    Area of Science:

    • Biomechanics
    • Robotics
    • Rehabilitation Engineering

    Background:

    • Current robot-assisted ankle assessment methods lack comprehensive biomechanical insight.
    • Existing models fail to account for muscle and ligament contributions, limiting their therapeutic application.
    • Torque sensors in rehabilitation robots provide accurate joint dynamics but exclude soft tissue influences.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a computational ankle model for robot-assisted therapy.
    • To enable comprehensive ankle assessment by including musculoskeletal and ligamentous structures.
    • To create a subject-specific, adaptable model for personalized rehabilitation.

    Main Methods:

    • A 3D computational ankle model with 12 muscles and 7 ligaments was developed.
    • The model integrates robotics, utilizing three independent position variables as inputs.
    • Subject-specific adaptations were achieved through geometric and strength scaling.

    Main Results:

    • The model demonstrated high accuracy in predicting ligament neutral length and passive joint torque.
    • Subject-specific adaptations showed high performance, with normalized root-mean-square deviation below 10%.
    • Validation was performed against published data and experimental results from 11 participants.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed model offers a robust tool for individual ankle assessment, particularly for passive torque evaluation.
    • Its unique feature is the real-time input of three independent position variables, enhancing its utility in robot-assisted therapy.
    • This model advances personalized rehabilitation by providing a more complete biomechanical assessment of the ankle.
