Design Of Gait Rehabilitation System, Andriy Pletenetskyy

Theses

This thesis describes the conceptual design of an innovative robotic rehabilitation machine whose purpose is to help in the recovery of people with motor function disabilities. The machine is smaller, simpler and cheaper than current solutions on the market yet it delivers same functionality.

The conceptual development of the gait rehabilitation system also features a human model with average anthropometric dimensions that allows better visualization and understanding of the actual machine operation. The human model is kinematically coupled to the machine and the whole assembly presents a complex mechanism that closely simulates gait training session.

Three-dimensional modeling and analysis techniques …
