Intention detection based exoskeleton for gait neurorehabilitation
The prevalence of neurological diseases such as stroke, spinal cord injury and traumatic brain injury is increasing quickly in the industrialised societies. Although the benefit of the use of technology in rehabilitation and neurorehabilitation programs is proved, the presence of mechatronic systems is still very low. This paper proposes a new lower limb exoskeleton for gait rehabilitation in p...
متن کاملAn EMG-Controlled Hand Exoskeleton for Natural Pinching
Spinal cord and other local injuries often lead to partial paralysis while the brain stays fully functional. When this partial paralysis occurs in the hand, these individuals are not able to execute daily activities on their own even if their arms are functional. To remedy this problem, a lightweight, low-profile orthotic exoskeleton has been designed to restore dexterity to paralyzed hands. Th...
متن کاملA Force-Controllable Compact Actuator Module for a Wearable Hand Exoskeleton
In this paper, a force-controllable compact actuator module for a wearable hand exoskeleton system is proposed. To interact with virtual objects naturally with a hand exoskeleton, a small actuator module, which can generate the desired force accurately, is highly required. In the proposed actuator module, a series elastic actuator (SEA) mechanism was applied for the force mode control. Based on...
متن کاملPneumatic Soft Actuator for Human Assist Technology
In the coming advanced age society, an innovative technology to assist the activities of daily living of elderly and disabled people and the heavy work in nursing is desired. To develop such a technology, an actuator safe and friendly for human is required. It should be small, lightweight and has to provide a proper softness. We call such an actuator soft actuator. A pneumatic rubber artificial...
متن کاملA plant tendril mimic soft actuator with phototunable bending and chiral twisting motion modes
In nature, plant tendrils can produce two fundamental motion modes, bending and chiral twisting (helical curling) distortions, under the stimuli of sunlight, humidity, wetting or other atmospheric conditions. To date, many artificial plant-like mechanical machines have been developed. Although some previously reported materials could realize bending or chiral twisting through tailoring the samp...
