New publication on anisotropic soft tissue material parameter characterization
Check out Amit Ashkenazi's new paper in Journal of the Mechanics and Physics of Solids on Indentation-based identifiability of soft tissue anisotropic hyperelastic material parameters. In this work, we investigate how...
New publication on soft lattice structures
Check out Dror Raf's new paper in Mechanics of Materials on Soft orthotropic hyperelastic lattice structures. In this work, we develop a method for numerically homogenizing the hyperelastic anisotropy of thick-beamed...
New orthosis for ankle-foot offloading
Check out the new video in our research page to see the new AFO design that allows natural walking with complete or partial offloading of the ankle and foot.
New publication on Nonlinear Parameter Estimation
Check out Amit Ashkenazi's new paper on quantifying parameter certainty bounds in highly nonlinear models. In this work, we propose a method for predicting the certainty bounds using two methods...

Back on Her Feet
Neta and Santi were shot multiple times while escaping from the terrorists who attacked their home in Kfar Aza on October 7th. They miraculously survived, but Neta's left ankle was...
New paper: Ankle-foot offloading devices
Check out our new paper! We studied gait biomechanics with 3 assistive devices for foot & ankle unloading (crutches, knee-crutch, and ankle-foot orthosis), and discovered some interesting effects and potential...
