Active Elbow Orthosis [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Advanced Robotic Systems, 2014
This paper presents a novel approach to the design of a motorized rehabilitation device – active elbow orthosis (AEO) – inspired by the principles of robotic exoskeletons. The device is currently designed for the elbow joint, but can be easily modified for other joints as well. AEO determines the motion activity of the patient using a strain gauge and
