Upper-limb powered exoskeleton design
An exoskeleton is an external structural mechanism with joints and links corresponding to
those of the human body. With applications in rehabilitation medicine and virtual reality
simulation, exoskeletons offer benefits for both disabled and healthy populations. A pilot
database defining the kinematics and dynamics of the upper limb during daily living
activities was one among several factors guiding the development of an anthropomorphic, 7-
DOF, powered arm exoskeleton. Additional design inputs include anatomical and …
