Reducing Knee Joint Loads During Stance Phase with a Rigid-Soft Hybrid Exoskeleton

Reducing Knee Joint Loads During Stance Phase with a Rigid-Soft Hybrid Exoskeleton 150 150 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)

Abstract:

High mechanical loads generated during walking may accelerate the wear of the knee joint. General knee exoskeletons mainly reduce knee joint load by applying pure torque assistance to reduce the force required by knee extensor muscles. This study aims to further reduce the knee joint load during the early and …
