Cross-wire assist suit concept, for mobile and lightweight multiple degree of freedom hip assistance.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
In this paper, we present our cross-wire assist concept, for assisting a single joint in multiple degrees of freedom. It is comprised of four motor driven Bowden cable actuators (wires) per assisted joint, with the wires crossed over each other at th...

A wearable robotic orthosis with a spring-assist actuator.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
This paper introduces a wearable robotic orthosis with spring-assist actuators, which is designed to assist people who have difficulty in walking. The spring-assist actuator consists of an electrical motor and a spring, which are attached to a rotati...

Fuzzy-logic-based hybrid locomotion mode classification for an active pelvis orthosis: Preliminary results.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
In this paper, we present a fuzzy-logic-based hybrid locomotion mode classification method for an active pelvis orthosis. Locomotion information measured by the onboard hip joint angle sensors and the pressure insoles is used to classify five locomot...

Trajectory planning and mechanic's analysis of lower limb rehabilitation robot.

Bio-medical materials and engineering
A new rehabilitation robot was designed. The robot included a suspension mechanism, a drive unit, and an adjustment mechanism. Additionally, innovative weight loss mechanism increased the dynamical device so that it could be used with patients of var...
