Mechanical Analysis of Wearable Lower Limb Exoskeleton for Rehabilitation
This paper presents the mechanical analysis of a lower limb exoskeleton for rehabilitation for both legs that was developed in University Putra Malaysia (UPM). The main objective of the project is to develop a wearable exoskeleton system based on the average height of Malaysian to enhance the wearability of the system to lower limbs. An anthropomorphic design was adopted in the prototype with p...
متن کاملLower Limb Rehabilitation Using Patient Data
The aim of this study is to investigate the performance of a 6-DoF parallel robot in tracking the movement of the foot trajectory of a paretic leg during a single stride. The foot trajectories of nine patients with a paretic leg including both males and females have been measured and analysed by a Vicon system in a gait laboratory. Based on kinematic and dynamic analysis of a 6-DoF UPS parallel...
متن کاملPowered lower limb orthoses for gait rehabilitation.
Bodyweight supported treadmill training has become a prominent gait rehabilitation method in leading rehabilitation centers. This type of locomotor training has many functional benefits but the labor costs are considerable. To reduce therapist effort, several groups have developed large robotic devices for assisting treadmill stepping. A complementary approach that has not been adequately explo...
متن کاملParallel Robot for Lower Limb Rehabilitation Exercises
The aim of this study is to investigate the capability of a 6-DoF parallel robot to perform various rehabilitation exercises. The foot trajectories of twenty healthy participants have been measured by a Vicon system during the performing of four different exercises. Based on the kinematics and dynamics of a parallel robot, a MATLAB program was developed in order to calculate the length of the a...
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...
