Lower-Limb Wearable Exoskeleton
There are numerous causes that can affect the functioning of the human locomotor system, leading to the appearance of joint disorders in the lower limb and generating atypical gait patterns. The importance of research and development in assistance technologies to compensate pathological gait have been recognised since the beginning of the twentieth century and numerous challenges still lie ahea...
متن کاملTorque Analysis of the Lower Limb Exoskeleton Robot Design
Exoskeleton is a type of wearable robots that can augment the performance of an able-bodied user. There are many studies that use hydraulic actuator to actuate the lower limb exoskeleton which possesses several drawbacks like dirty, noisy and high power consumption. Therefore, electrical actuators that are clean, silent and less power consuming are used in designing the lower limb exoskeleton i...
متن کاملA Lower Extremity Soft Robotic Exoskeleton
Humans and other animals walk in a way that minimizes energy consumption. We take advantage of inertial passive dynamics and elastic energy storage and return to create a walking pattern that is extremely economical [1]. A reduction in energy consumption during walking might be achieved by supplying external mechanical power to the joints of the lower limbs. With additional mechanical power app...
متن کاملUpper and Lower Exoskeleton Limbs for Assistive and Rehabilitative Applications
Individuals with tetraplegia have loss of motor function in both their upper and lower extremities. Research is being conducted into the development of an exoskeleton to cater for the tetraplegic user. An exoskeleton system has the advantage of assisting disabled or rehabilitating patients without the need of surgery. This paper includes the conceptual design of an upper and lower limb exoskele...
متن کاملEffect of Target Impedance Selection on the Lower Extremity Assistive Exoskeleton Performance
Exoskeletons are utilized extensively in robotic rehabilitation and power augmentation purposes. One of the most recognised control algorithms utilized in this field is the impedance controller. Impedance control approach provides the capability of realizing different rehabilitation exercises by tuning the target impedance gains. Trial and error experimental approach is one of the most common m...
