A Gravity Balancing Passive Exoskeleton for the Human Leg
A gravity balancing lower extremity exoskeleton is a simple mechanical device composed of rigid links, joints and springs, which is adjustable to the geometry and inertia of the leg of a human subject wearing it. This passive exoskeleton does not use any motors or controllers, yet can still unload the human leg joints of the gravity load over the full range of motion of the leg. The underlying ...
متن کاملUniversal Exoskeleton Arm Design for Rehabilitation
This paper proposes the design of a 4 DOF exoskeleton robotic arm for rehabilitation. This proposed robot arm can be used easily with either the user’s left or right arm. This robot arm is designed to have low inertia, high stiffness link, and zero backlash transmissions. It supports the patient’s arm during rehabilitation which is a repetitive task and takes a period of time. Each joint of thi...
متن کاملDesign and Development of Cable Driven Upper Limb Exoskeleton for Arm Rehabilitation
this paper describes the design and kinematic analysis of a 5 DOF upper limb powered robotic exoskeleton for rehabilitation of the patients who survived stroke and the elderly who do not have enough strength to move their limbs freely. It was observed that the existing upper extremity exoskeletons were bulky and heavy which made them limited to applications and the complexity of the system incr...
متن کاملAn Upper-Limb Power-Assist Exoskeleton Using Proportional Myoelectric Control
We developed an upper-limb power-assist exoskeleton actuated by pneumatic muscles. The exoskeleton included two metal links: a nylon joint, four size-adjustable carbon fiber bracers, a potentiometer and two pneumatic muscles. The proportional myoelectric control method was proposed to control the exoskeleton according to the user's motion intention in real time. With the feature extraction proc...
متن کاملDesign and Modeling of an Upper Extremity Exoskeleton
This paper presents the design and modeling results of an upper extremity exoskeleton mounted on a wheel chair. This new device is dedicated to regular and efficient rehabilitation training for weak and injured people without the continuous presence of a therapist. The exoskeleton being a wearable robotic device attached to the human arm, the user provides information signals to the controller ...
