WEARABLE REHAB

4 STUDENTS
OBJECTIVE
This project aims to improve the rehabilitation process by providing
an advanced exoskeleton as a technological assistance and enabler
to increase mobility and load-carrying capacity of injured limbs and
joints.

The project may involve:

… measurements (sensing) of specific limb forces (muscles,
ligaments, etc) and angles;
… gait changes recognition and pain recognition through self-
learning systems
… development of advanced actuators to artificially stimulate
muscles to adjust the load on the ligaments, and provide “smart”
and variable force-resistance curves
