The object of the study is an exoskeleton of the lower extremities with a rigid structure of the power frame, which has 7 degrees of freedom. The movement of the exoskeleton in the sagittal plane is considered with the assumption of symmetrical movement of the right and left legs. The aim of the study is to develop a mathematical model of the dynamics of the exoskeleton, taking into account the forces of viscous friction in the joints. The equations of motion are obtained under the condition that there is no slippage of the points of contact with the supporting surface. Based on the results of numerical simulation, the control moments were obtained, which must be created by the drives to provide program movement.
The object of the research is the electro-hydraulic executive modules (drives) of the exoskeleton of the lower extremities with a rigid structure of the power frame. The problem of schematic and parametric execution of modules located in the linkage joints of the exoskeleton which is used for verticalization of patients is considered. The aim of the study is to estimates energy consumption, sensitivity, establish a rational structure and parameters of modules that provide programmed movement according to the criterion of energy sufficiency. The laws of motion and diagrams of loads required for lifting a patient from a sitting position are presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
