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 accommoda

Symbitron
Symbiotic man-machine interactions in wearable exoskeletons to enhance mobility for paraplegics
The main goal of the Symbitron project was to develop a safe, bio-inspired, personalized wearable exoskeleton that enables SCI patients to walk without additional assistance, by complementing their remaining motor function. Here we give an overview of major achievements of the pr

In this study, our goal was to improve the standing balance of people with a spinal cord injury by using a wearable exoskeleton that has ankle and knee actuation in the sagittal plane. Three test-pilots that have an incomplete spinal cord injury wore the exoskeleton and tried to

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 promot
