A lower-limb exoskeleton for gait assistance in quadriplegia

2012 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Biomimetics (ROBIO), 2012
The potential of lower-limb exoskeletons and powered orthoses in gait assistance applications for patients with locomotive disorders would have a terrific impact in the society of the near future. This paper presents the development and main features of a lower limb exoskeleton being developed as an active orthosis to allow a quadriplegic child to walk.

Empowering lower limbs exoskeletons: state-of-the-art

Robotica, 2018
SUMMARYGiven the advanced breakthroughs in the field of supportive robotic technologies, interest in the integration of the human body and a robot into a single system has rapidly increased. The aim of this work is to provide an overview of empowering lower limbs exoskeletons.

Design and development of lower limb exoskeletons: A survey

Robotics and Autonomous Systems, 2017
Abstract Research into the development of the lower limb exoskeleton (LLE) has been on-going since the 1960s. Although this field has long been explored, the technological progress has been very slow. Many exoskeletons were stopped in their tracks toward commercialization at the research stage itself.

Development of a exoskeleton robot for lower limb rehabilitation

2016 International Conference on Advanced Robotics and Mechatronics (ICARM), 2016
Rehabilitative robot is a new technology that has been developed rapidly in recent years, especially for the exercise therapy. In this paper, a new design concept of lower limb rehabilitation robot has been proposed. This model can perform four degrees of freedom that is rotation in vertical planes.

Real-Time Modeling for Lower Limb Exoskeletons

2016
Real-time electromyography (EMG) driven musculoskeletal (NMS) modeling estimates internal body biomechanical parameters and motor intentions. This is central for understanding the dynamics of user-exoskeleton interaction and for developing closed-loop user-exoskeleton interfaces that are intuitive and effective in promoting neuroplasticity.

Biomechanical considerations in the design of lower limb exoskeletons

2011 IEEE International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics, 2011
This paper presents an analysis of the human biomechanical considerations related to the development of lower limb exoskeletons. Factors such as kinematic alignment and compatibility, joint range of motion, maximum torque, and joint bandwidth are discussed in the framework of a review of the design specifications for exoskeleton prototypes discussed in

Optimisation of Reference Gait Trajectory of a Lower Limb Exoskeleton

International Journal of Social Robotics, 2015
Lower limb exoskeletons have gained considerable interest in recent years as a research topic for creating aids for people with walking disabilities and strength augmenters for pilot walkers. A crucial practical problem, however, is generating the reference trajectory of the joints.

Design and Development of a Lower Limb Exoskeleton for Rehabilitation

2014
This proposed project is a lower limb exoskeleton that is design and develop for rehabilitation while the safety rules and regulation is kept in mind. The developed exoskeleton is made up of purely rehabilitation kits such hip and knee orthoses kits so that users can comfortably wear and do rehabilitation of flexion and extension.

Fundamentals for the Design of Lower-Limb Exoskeletons

2021
The development of the lower-limb exoskeleton has been increased over the years, presenting a wide variety of devices that enhance or assist the user. These devices had a design process that followed two principal features that are centered on the user and the device itself. Firstly, the user-centered features are divided into targeted goals focused on

A lower limb exoskeleton based on recognition of lower limb walking intention

Transactions of the Canadian Society for Mechanical Engineering, 2019
Recognition of walking intention and assistance in the load-carrying driver’s walking capability are key challenging areas in lower limb exoskeletons. We present a lower limb exoskeleton called the unmanned technology research centre exoskeleton (UTRCEXO).
