Journal ArticleDOI
A Phase Variable Approach for Improved Rhythmic and Non-Rhythmic Control of a Powered Knee-Ankle Prosthesis
TL;DR: A new controller that is capable of both rhythmic (constant-speed) walking, transitions between speeds and/or tasks, and some common volitional leg motions is developed, and a new piecewise holonomic phase variable is introduced, which forms the basis of the controller.
Journal ArticleDOI
Design Principles for Compact, Backdrivable Actuation in Partial-Assist Powered Knee Orthoses
TL;DR: The design and validation of a backdrivable powered knee orthosis for partial assistance of lower-limb musculature is presented, which aims to facilitate daily activities in individuals with musculoskeletal disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neurophysiological, behavioural and perceptual differences between wrist flexion and extension related to sensorimotor monitoring as shown by corticomuscular coherence.
Nikhil Divekar,L. R. John +1 more
TL;DR: An inverse relationship between CMC and motor precision was found in the inter-muscle study, contrary to the direct relationship found in a prior intra-Muscle study.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Design and Validation of a Partial-Assist Knee Orthosis with Compact, Backdrivable Actuation
TL;DR: The mechatronic design and initial validation of a partial-assist knee orthosis for individuals with musculoskeletal disorders, e.g., knee osteoarthritis and lower back pain, using a quasi-direct drive actuator with a low-ratio transmission is presented.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
A Phase Variable Approach to Volitional Control of Powered Knee-Ankle Prostheses
TL;DR: A new controller that is capable of both periodic walking and common volitional leg motions based on a piecewise holonomic phase variable through a finite state machine is developed.
