Design of a Passive Exoskeleton Spine
In this chapter, a series of biomechanics simulations were conducted to reconstruct a specific movement – spine flexion/extension in sagittal plane of a subject. The motion capture was used to collect the kinematics information of the subject. These motions were used to drive a customized musculoskeletal model in OpenSim. Additionally, the muscle actuation forces and joint reactions were comput...
متن کاملDesign of a Passive Upper Limb Exoskeleton for Macaque Monkeys
Integrating an exoskeleton as the external apparatus for a brain–machine interface (BMI) has the advantage of providing multiple contact points to determine body segment postures and allowing control to and feedback from each joint. When using macaques as subjects to study the neural control of movement, an upper limb exoskeleton design with unlikely singularity is required to guarantee safe an...
متن کاملBiomechanical evaluation of exoskeleton use on loading of the lumbar spine.
The objective of this study was to investigate biomechanical loading to the low back as a result of wearing an exoskeletal intervention designed to assist in occupational work. Twelve subjects simulated the use of two powered hand tools with and without the use of a Steadicam vest with an articulation tool support arm in a laboratory environment. Dependent measures of peak and mean muscle force...
متن کاملBiomechanical modeling and load-carrying simulation of lower limb exoskeleton.
This paper introduces novel modern equipment-a lower extremity exoskeleton, which can implement the mutual complement and the interaction between human intelligence and the robot's mechanical strength. In order to provide a reference for the exoskeleton structure and the drive unit, the human biomechanics were modeled and analyzed by LifeModeler and Adams software to derive each joint kinematic...
متن کاملA 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 ...
