Abstract |
|
to design an efficient and capable lower extremity exoskeleton with help of Theo Jansen’s strand beast mechanism. These types of exoskeletons are mainly used for rehabilitation purpose of patients who have temporarily lost their limb motor skills, which is used in physiotherapy with the help of these devices they again attain their ability to walk. One of the aspects of physiotherapy is repetitive movement of the affected limbs, thus an exoskeleton helps in this .The present exoskeletons available for lower extremities run with the help of hydraulics, pneumatics, hydro-pneumatics and complex circuitry. The exoskeleton which we have made its efficiency lies in its simplicity. It would hopefully reduce the cost drastically and would be commercially viable to common man. |
