Musculoskeletal lower-limb robot driven by multifilament muscles
This paper presents a redundant musculoskeletal robot using thin McKibben muscles that is based on human anatomy. The purpose of this robot is to achieve motions and characteristics that are very similar to a human body. We use a thin McKibben muscle, which is compliant and flexible, as the actuator of a musculoskeletal robot. Using a bundle of thin McKibben muscles, we develop a multifilament ...
متن کاملA Subject-Specific EMG-Driven Musculoskeletal Model for Applications in Lower-Limb Rehabilitation Robotics
Robotic devices have great potential in physical therapy owing to their repeatability, reliability and cost economy. However, there are great challenges to realize active control strategy, since the operator's motion intention is uneasy to be recognized by robotics online. The purpose of this paper is to propose a subject-speci ̄c electromyography (EMG)-driven musculoskeletal model to estimate s...
متن کاملA Cyclic Robot for Lower Limb Exercise
This paper presents the design and simulation of a cyclic robot for lower-limb exercise robots. The robot is designed specifically for cyclic motions and the high power nature of lower-limb interaction—as such, it breaks from traditional robotics wisdom by intentionally traveling through singularities and incorporating large inertia. Such attributes lead to explicit design considerations. Resul...
متن کاملParallel Robot for Lower Limb Rehabilitation Exercises
The aim of this study is to investigate the capability of a 6-DoF parallel robot to perform various rehabilitation exercises. The foot trajectories of twenty healthy participants have been measured by a Vicon system during the performing of four different exercises. Based on the kinematics and dynamics of a parallel robot, a MATLAB program was developed in order to calculate the length of the a...
متن کاملMusculoskeletal Lower Limb Injury Risk in Army Populations
Injuries are common within military populations, with high incidence rates well established in the literature. Injuries cause a substantial number of working days lost, a significant cost through compensation claims and an increased risk of attrition. In an effort to address this, a considerable amount of research has gone into identifying the most prevalent types of injury and their associated...
