Computer control of a powered two degree freedom reciprocating gait orthosis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The design of a motion control system for a powered reciprocating gait orthosis is considered. Models for the orthosis are obtained using least squares identification. The control system design is based on pole-placement techniques and a restricted Youla parametrization of the controller. Experimental results are included.

Many investigations on orthotic devices for araplegics have been undertaken during the last 5 years. Ferris et al. 1 investigated an ankleoot orthosis powered by artificial pneumatic uscles. Harwin 2 discussed the theoretical coniderations for the design of simple teleoperators nd powered orthosis. Despite substantial adances, a suitable orthosis that gives paraplegics a inimum ability to walk ...
متن کاملEffect of powered gait orthosis on walking in individuals with paraplegia.
BACKGROUND The important purpose of a powered gait orthosis is to provide active joint movement for patients with spinal cord injury. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to clarify the effect of a powered gait orthosis on the kinematics and temporal-spatial parameters in paraplegics with spinal cord injury. STUDY DESIGN Quasi-experimental. METHODS Four spinal cord injury individuals expe...
متن کاملThe influence of trunk extension in using advanced reciprocating gait orthosis on walking in spinal cord injury patients: A pilot study.
BACKGROUND Spinal cord injury patients walk with a flexed trunk when using reciprocating gait orthoses. Reduction of trunk flexion during ambulation may produce an improvement in gait parameters for reciprocating gait orthosis users. OBJECTIVES To investigate the effect on kinematics and temporal-spatial parameters when spinal cord injury patients ambulate with an advanced reciprocating gait ...
متن کاملStudying the effect of kinematical pattern on the mechanical performance of paraplegic gait with reciprocating orthosis.
Paraplegic users of mechanical walking orthoses, e.g. advanced reciprocating gait orthosis (ARGO), often face high energy expenditure and extreme upper body loading during locomotion. We studied the effect of kinematical pattern on the mechanical performance of paraplegic locomotion, in search for an improved gait pattern that leads to lower muscular efforts. A three-dimensional, four segment, ...
متن کاملShould External Powered Orthoses be Used by Paraplegic Subjects or Not?
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a damage to spinal cord that results in loss of function, mobility and sensation below the level at which the spinal cord has been injured. The incidence of this disorder varies between 12.7 and 59 new cases per million each year (1). These subjects used various orthoses to improve their abilities to stand and walk, such as mechanical orthoses, functional electrical ...
