Design of the robotic exoskeleton for upper-extremity rehabilitation

This paper touches upon the issue of designing of an upper-limb exoskeleton used for rehabilitation. Mainly there are presented the results concerning the mechanical design. The exoskeleton, also known as orthosis, has 12 degrees of freedom (DOF). Among 12 DOF there can be distinguished 7 DOF which are actively controlled during rehabilitation, 3 passive DOF which are responsible for wrist move...

Biologically-Inspired Control Architecture for an Upper Limb, Intelligent Robotic Orthosis

This paper describes a biologically inspired control architecture for the McKibben actuated limbs of a humanoid robot and its application in an upper limb, intelligent robotic orthosis. The antagonistically driven joints are actuated using a biological control model. This model is observed in the measurement of human muscle elctromyograms (EMG) during reaching movements in the vertical plane. T...

Passive exoskeletons for assisting limb movement.

This article presents the state of the art in passive devices for enhancing limb movement in people with neuromuscular disabilities. Both upper- and lower-limb projects and devices are described. Special emphasis is placed on a passive functional upper-limb orthosis called the Wilmington Robotic Exoskeleton (WREX). The development and testing of the WREX with children with limited arm strength ...

A Real-time Motion Tracking Wireless System for Upper Limb Exosuit Based on Inertial Measurement Units and Flex Sensors (TECHNICAL NOTE)

This paper puts forward a real-time angular tracking (motion capture) system for a low cost upper limb exosuit based on sensor fusion; which is integrated by an elastic sleeve-mitten, two inertial measurement units (IMU), two flex sensors and a wireless communication system. The device can accurately detect the angular position of the shoulder (flexion-extension, abduction-adduction and interna...
