EMG Control of an Upper-Limb Rehabilitation Exoskeleton for SCI Affected Users
Robotic rehabilitation for individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) has been shown to be most effective when the user is motivated and mentally engaged in the execution of therapeutic exercises. Consequently, designers of the human-robot interface are challenged with developing control schemes …

Wearable exoskeleton systems based-on pneumatic soft actuators and controlled by parallel processing
… and one technology that may be applicable is exoskeletons. However, traditional rigid exoskeletons have many drawbacks. This research includes the design and implementation of upper-limb power assist and rehabilitation exoskeletons based on pneumatic soft actuators. A novel extensor-contractor …

Lower body exoskeleton for walking gait assistance and performance augmentation using compliance controlled actuators
Successful motor rehabilitation after stroke or traumatic brain/spinal cord injures requires ahighly intensive and task-specific therapy-based approach. Currently many patients with thesetypes of pathologies are confined to wheelchairs, which results in a sedentary lifestyle causingother critical …

An artificial skeletal muscle for use in pediatric rehabilitation robotics
… far only a few studies have attempted to explore rehabilitation applications, and at a very preliminary level. ☐ The overall goal of this dissertation is to develop a powered unilateral exoskeleton using a commercially available DEA that works as “artificial skeletal muscle”, and thereby, assess …

An Intelligent Pneumatic Muscle Actuated Exoskeleton for Robotic Gait Rehabilitation
… spinal cord injury survivors. Conventional gait rehabilitation trainings provided by therapists are largely dependent on their experience. Such trainings are often challenging for the therapists due to their physically intensive nature. Hence, consistent optimal results cannot always be achieved. …

Design and Control of an Ergonomic Wearable Full-Wrist Exoskeleton for Pathological Tremor Alleviation
… treatments, mechanical loading through wearable rehabilitation devices is popular for being non-invasive and innocuous to the human body. In particular, a few exoskeletons are developed to actively mitigate pathological tremors in the forearm. While these forearm exoskeletons can effectively …
