| Abstract: | Locomotion training has proven to be a highly effective
approach to assist patients in recovering their normal walking
patterns. A pneumatically-actuated orthosis will improve gait
rehabilitation significantly by providing a stable, accurate and
precise lower extremities motion. This paper presents the design
and development of a knee ankle foot orthosis (KAFO) powered
by pneumatic artificial muscles. The KAFO is intended as a
proof-of-concept rehabilitation device for the assessment of the
conceptual design and testing of the power control system.
McKibben Pneumatic Artificial Muscles is selected as the
pneumatic actuator and the frame were made of aluminum. The
general approach of this project is to develop an inexpensive
rehabilitation robotic prototype consisting of a powered
exoskeleton for the lower extremities. |
