Soft exosuit for hip assistance
Exoskeletons comprised of rigid load-bearing structures have been developed for many years, but a new paradigm is to create “exosuits” that apply tensile forces to the body using textiles and utilize the bodys skeletal structure to support compressive forces. Exosuits are intended to augment the musculature by providing small to moderate levels of assistance at appropriate times in the walking ...
متن کاملAutonomous Soft Exosuit for Hip Extension Assistance
In this abstract, we describe a mono-articular soft exosuit to assist with hip extension during overground walking. The system is comprised of a mobile Bowden-cabledriven electrical actuation unit, soft textiles, and a load cell and an inertia measurement unit per leg. The exosuit applies forces with a peak of 300N enabled by an IMU-based iterative control algorithm. This iterative controller d...
متن کاملA biologically inspired soft exosuit for walking assistance
We present the design and evaluation of a multi-articular soft exosuit that is portable, fully autonomous, and provides assistive torques to the wearer at the ankle and hip during walking. Traditional rigid exoskeletons can be challenging to perfectly align with a wearer’s biological joints and can have large inertias, which can lead to the wearer altering their natural motion patterns. Exosuit...
متن کاملReducing Circumduction and Hip Hiking During Hemiparetic Walking Through Targeted Assistance of the Paretic Limb Using a Soft Robotic Exosuit.
OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to evaluate the effects on common poststroke gait compensations of a soft wearable robot (exosuit) designed to assist the paretic limb during hemiparetic walking. DESIGN A single-session study of eight individuals in the chronic phase of stroke recovery was conducted. Two testing conditions were compared: walking with the exosuit powered versus walking with ...
متن کاملSoft Smart Garments for Lower Limb Joint Position Analysis
Revealing human movement requires lightweight, flexible systems capable of detecting mechanical parameters (like strain and pressure) while being worn comfortably by the user, and not interfering with his/her activity. In this work we address such multifaceted challenge with the development of smart garments for lower limb motion detection, like a textile kneepad and anklet in which soft sensor...
