A passively safe cable driven upper limb rehabilitation exoskeleton.
BACKGROUND When using upper limb exoskeletons that assist the movement of physically weak people, safety should be the most important index. OBJECTIVE In this paper, a passively safe, cable-driven upper limb exoskeleton with parallel actuated joints, which perfectly mimics human motions, is proposed. METHODS Compared with the existing upper limb exoskeletons which are mostly designed only c...
متن کاملGait retraining: altering the fingerprint of gait
In terms of running, there is evidence that links mechanics with injury. This evidence provides the justification for altering these mechanics. Increased hip adduction and vertical impact loading have been most commonly associated with injury. More work is needed in order to understand the optimal way to retrain gait patterns in runners. The human body has a considerable ability to adapt. To pr...
متن کاملGait retraining post stroke.
A major component of stroke rehabilitation focuses on gait restoration. The purpose of this review is to examine the efficacy of a variety of gait retraining techniques currently in clinical use, including strength training, functional electrical stimulation, treadmill training, partial body-weight support, EMG biofeedback, and splinting of the lower extremity. Forty-eight studies evaluating si...
متن کاملLeg exoskeleton reduces the metabolic cost of human hopping.
During bouncing gaits such as hopping and running, leg muscles generate force to enable elastic energy storage and return primarily from tendons and, thus, demand metabolic energy. In an effort to reduce metabolic demand, we designed two elastic leg exoskeletons that act in parallel with the wearer's legs; one exoskeleton consisted of a multiple leaf (MLE) and the other of a single leaf (SLE) s...
متن کاملA Gravity Balancing Passive Exoskeleton for the Human Leg
A gravity balancing lower extremity exoskeleton is a simple mechanical device composed of rigid links, joints and springs, which is adjustable to the geometry and inertia of the leg of a human subject wearing it. This passive exoskeleton does not use any motors or controllers, yet can still unload the human leg joints of the gravity load over the full range of motion of the leg. The underlying ...
