Faster Detection of Step Initiation for the Lower Limb Exoskeleton with Vertical GRF Events

Faster Detection of Step Initiation for the Lower Limb Exoskeleton with Vertical GRF Events

We propose a new approach called as a peak time approach for faster detection of step initiation for the lower limb exoskeleton. As faster detection of step initiation is an important criterion in evaluating the lower limb exoskeleton, many studies have investigated approaches to detect step initiation faster, including using electromyography, the center of pressure, the heel-off time and the t...

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...

Customizable Rehabilitation Lower Limb Exoskeleton System

Disabled people require assistance with the motion of their lower limbs to improve rehabilitation. Exoskeletons used for lower limb rehabilitation are highly priced and are not affordable to the lowerincome sector of the population. This paper describes an exoskeleton lower limb system that was designed keeping in mind that the cost must be as low as possible. ...

Control of lower limb exoskeleton with simulated EMG signal

Mechanical Analysis of Wearable Lower Limb Exoskeleton for Rehabilitation

This paper presents the mechanical analysis of a lower limb exoskeleton for rehabilitation for both legs that was developed in University Putra Malaysia (UPM). The main objective of the project is to develop a wearable exoskeleton system based on the average height of Malaysian to enhance the wearability of the system to lower limbs. An anthropomorphic design was adopted in the prototype with p...
