Mechatronic System for Locomotion Rehabilitation

Abstract:

The purpose of this study is to develop computational mathematical models for virtual prototyping of an actuation system from an exoskeleton human knee joint. These models are a part of the virtual and experimental prototype of a mechatronic system for locomotion rehabilitation in case of disabled persons. Experimental tests were performed on a group of persons without locomotion deficiencies. The obtained database was used to develop geometrical kinematic synthesis of the exoskeleton actuation mechanisms for knee’s joint and also ankle.
