Optimal control prediction of assisted walking using torque-driven models : application to active orthosis simulation to assist individuals with spinal cord injury
Abstract:Walking impairment after spinal cord injury leads to a decreased quality of life, other serious health conditions, and substantial health care costs. Consequently, gait restoration is a high priority among spinal cord-injured (SCI) subjects; and it can be partially achieved using active orthoses or exoskeletons, together with some type of external support for balance (e.g., crutches or a walker). Customisation of active orthoses control algorithms to maximise the walking ability of each patient is currently do… Show more
