TransforMe – exoskeleton for gait rehabilitation
Journal Title: Aparatura Badawcza i Dydaktycza - Year 2016, Vol 21, Issue 4
Abstract
Stroke and neurological disorders significantly affect thousands of individuals annually, leading to considerable physical impairment and functional disability. Gait is one of the most important activities of daily living affected in stroke survivors. Recent technological developments in powered mechatronics solutions can create powerful adjunctive tools/exoskeleton for rehabilitation and potentially accelerate functional recovery. This paper proposes a new lower limb exoskeleton (TransforMe with EMG control) for functional rehabilitation in persons with neurological pathologies. Moreover, there has been presented the main elements of hardware/software system.
