Recent Trends in Lower-Limb Robotic Rehabilitation Orthosis: Control Scheme and Strategy for Pneumatic Muscle Actuated Gait Trainers
It is a general assumption that pneumatic muscle-type actuators will play an important role in the development of an assistive rehabilitation robotics system. In the last decade, the development of a pneumatic muscle actuated lower-limb leg orthosis has been rather slow compared to other types of actuated leg orthoses that use AC motors, DC motors, pneumatic cylinders, linear actuators, series ...
متن کاملMuscle Activation Patterns When Passively Stretching Spastic Lower Limb Muscles of Children with Cerebral Palsy
The definition of spasticity as a velocity-dependent activation of the tonic stretch reflex during a stretch to a passive muscle is the most widely accepted. However, other mechanisms are also thought to contribute to pathological muscle activity and, in patients post-stroke and spinal cord injury can result in different activation patterns. In the lower-limbs of children with spastic cerebral ...
متن کاملT-S Fuzzy Controller Applied to Lower Limb Rehabilitation Robot Actuated by Pneumatic Muscle Actuators
Since the 2-DOF rehabilitation robot actuated by pneumatic muscle actuators (PMAs) has highly nonlinear and time-varying behavior due to gas compression and nonlinear elasticity of bladder containers, it is difficult to achieve excellent control performance using classical control methods. Here, this study proposes a novel Takagi-Sugeno(T-S) fuzzy approach to improve tracking performance. The T...
متن کاملDesign of Human-Friendly Powered Lower Limb Rehabilitation Orthosis
Many patients with spinal injures are confined to wheelchairs, leading to a sedentary lifestyle with secondary pathologies and increased dependence on a carer. Increasing evidence has shown that training using devices such as Reciprocating Gait Orthoses (RGO) reduces the incidence of these secondary pathologies, but the physical effort involved in this training is such that there is poor compli...
متن کاملReal-Time EMG Driven Lower Limb Actuated Orthosis for Assistance As Needed Movement Strategy
This paper presents a new approach to control a wearable knee joint exoskeleton driven through the wearer’s intention. A realistic bio-inspired musculoskeletal knee joint model is used to control the exoskeleton. This model takes into account changes in muscle length and joint moment arms as well as the dynamics of muscle activation and muscle contraction during lower limb movements. Identifica...
