Rehabilitation robot prototypes developed by the ITAM Zabrze
Journal Title: Archive of Mechanical Engineering - Year 2014, Vol 0, Issue 3
Abstract
Limb physical movements disability is the result of illnesses or serious injuries, impaired execution of daily activities and limitations or even inability to perform working activity. Restoration of fitness in such cases is possible through rehabilitation that requires arduous repetition of appropriate exercises with participation of an experienced physiotherapist. Exercises using the robot to repeat movements would speed up the process of rehabilitation. The paper presents the concept of rehabilitation robot control system realizing a specified purpose.

Finite Element formulation for the large-amplitude vibrations of FG beams
On the basis of Euler-Bernoulli beam theory, the large-amplitude free vibration analysis of functionally graded beams is investigated by means of a finite element formulation. The von Karman type nonlinear strain-displac...
