Exoskeleton and End-Effector Robots for Upper and Lower Limbs Rehabilitation: Narrative Review.
PM & R : the journal of injury, function, and rehabilitation
Sep 1, 2018
Recovery of upper and lower limbs function is essential to reach independence in daily activities in patients with upper motor neuron syndrome (UMNS). Rehabilitation can provide a guide for motor recovery influencing the neurobiology of neuronal plas...
A hybrid active force control of a lower limb exoskeleton for gait rehabilitation.
Biomedizinische Technik. Biomedical engineering
Jul 26, 2018
Owing to the increasing demand for rehabilitation services, robotics have been engaged in addressing the drawbacks of conventional rehabilitation therapy. This paper focuses on the modelling and control of a three-link lower limb exoskeleton for gait...
A Velocity-Based Flow Field Control Approach for Reshaping Movement of Stroke-Impaired Individuals with a Lower-Limb Exoskeleton.
Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Jul 1, 2018
This paper describes a controller for guiding and assisting leg movement during walking with a lower limb exoskeleton with actuated hip and knee joints. The primary novel aspect of the controller is that it employs a virtual flow field to influence m...
Influence of the amount of body weight support on lower limb joints' kinematics during treadmill walking at different gait speeds: Reference data on healthy adults to define trajectories for robot assistance.
Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. Part H, Journal of engineering in medicine
Jun 1, 2018
Several robotic devices have been developed for the rehabilitation of treadmill walking in patients with movement disorders due to injuries or diseases of the central nervous system. These robots induce coordinated multi-joint movements aimed at repr...
A Preventive Model for Muscle Injuries: A Novel Approach based on Learning Algorithms.
Medicine and science in sports and exercise
May 1, 2018
INTRODUCTION: The application of contemporary statistical approaches coming from Machine Learning and Data Mining environments to build more robust predictive models to identify athletes at high risk for injury might support injury prevention strateg...
An Optimal Method of Training the Specific Lower Limb Muscle Group Using an Exoskeletal Robot.
IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Apr 1, 2018
This paper suggests a novel method of strengthening specific muscle groups in the lower limb during a functional movement. When the foot of an user wearing an exoskeletal robot follows a given path, the contribution of each muscle group to generate t...
Brain-machine interfaces for controlling lower-limb powered robotic systems.
Journal of neural engineering
Apr 1, 2018
OBJECTIVE: Lower-limb, powered robotics systems such as exoskeletons and orthoses have emerged as novel robotic interventions to assist or rehabilitate people with walking disabilities. These devices are generally controlled by certain physical maneu...
Design and analysis of a novel fall prevention device for lower limbs rehabilitation robot.
Journal of back and musculoskeletal rehabilitation
Feb 6, 2018
BACKGROUND: Most stroke survivors are suffering from physical motor impairments and confronting with the risk of falls, and well trunk stability is essential for balance during daily functional activities.
Artificial neural network simulation of lower limb joint angles in normal and impaired human gait.
Acta of bioengineering and biomechanics
Jan 1, 2018
PURPOSE: Simulating the complexities of lower limb motion can be useful for orthosis or rehabilitation planning. The aim of this study was to develop an artificial neural network (ANN) able to accurately simulate the changes in the angle of the ankle...
Bio-inspired control of joint torque and knee stiffness in a robotic lower limb exoskeleton using a central pattern generator.
IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Jul 1, 2017
Robotic lower limb exoskeletons are becoming increasingly popular in therapy and recreational use. However, most exoskeletons are still rather limited in their locomotion speed and the activities of daily live they can perform. Furthermore, they typi...
