The goal of the LOPES project (LOwer-extremity Powered ExoSkeleton) is to design and implement a gait rehabilitation robot for treadmill training. The target group consists of people who have had a stroke and have impaired motor control. The main goals of LOPES are: Reduction of the physical load on the therapist / patient;
A soft exoskeleton, also known as a soft wearable robot or a soft robotic exosuit, is a type of wearable robotic device designed to augment and enhance the physical abilities of the human body. Unlike traditional rigid exoskeletons , which are typically made of hard materials like metal and are worn over the user's limbs, soft exoskeletons are ...
Ekso Indego Personal is a wearable lower extremity powered exoskeleton that enables certain individuals living with spinal cord injuries (“SCIs”) with the ability to stand and walk independently. It is the only known portable exoskeleton device to offer a modular quick connect design, which was engineered to allow users to put on and take ...
Depiction of myoelectric control of an ankle exoskeleton. Proportional myoelectric control can be used to (among other purposes) activate robotic lower limb exoskeletons.A proportional myoelectric control system utilizes a microcontroller or computer that inputs electromyography (EMG) signals from sensors on the leg muscle(s) and then activates the corresponding joint actuator(s ...
Rehabilitation robotics is a field of research dedicated to understanding and augmenting rehabilitation through the application of robotic devices. Rehabilitation robotics includes development of robotic devices tailored for assisting different sensorimotor functions [1] (e.g. arm, hand, [2] [3] leg, ankle [4]), development of different schemes of assisting therapeutic training, [5] and ...
An exhibit of the "Future Soldier" designed by the United States ArmyA powered exoskeleton is a mobile machine wearable over all or part of the human body, providing ergonomic structural support, and powered by a system of electric motors, pneumatics, levers, hydraulics or a combination of cybernetic technologies, allowing for sufficient limb movement, and providing increased strength ...
The Berkeley Lower Extremity Exoskeleton (BLEEX) is a robotic device that attaches to the lower body.Its purpose is to complement the user's strength by adding extra force to the user's lower extremity bodily movements.
Dr Peter Anderton, a stroke consultant at the trust, said: "Alongside [the robotic therapy suite] and the newly acquired music therapy, the service is heading towards becoming a hub of excellence ...
