Symbitron Exoskeleton: Design, control, and evaluation of a modular exoskeleton for incomplete and complete spinal cord injured individuals

In this paper, we present the design, control, and preliminary evaluation of the Symbitron exoskeleton, a lower limb modular exoskeleton developed for people with a spinal cord injury. The mechanical and electrical configuration and the controller can be personalized to accommodate differences in impairments among individuals with spinal cord...

An adaptive neuromuscular controller for assistive lower-limb exoskeletons: A preliminary study on subjects with spinal cord injury

Versatility is important for a wearable exoskeleton controller to be responsive to both the user and the environment. These characteristics are especially important for subjects with spinal cord injury (SCI), where active recruitment of their own neuromuscular system could promote motor recovery. Here we demonstrate the capability of a novel,...
