Abstract
This article presents a design of novel wheelchair with a leg exoskeleton for locomotion that can be powered by user legs through a cycling action. In addition, the control system is designed with ...
Highlights
The increasing number of elderly people, stroke-sufferers, and spinal cord injured ones in modern society has introduced unavoidable geriatric disorders, physical disabilities, and locomotion challenges, such as full or partial loss of hip, knee, and ankle function
Clinical medicine indicates that persons suffering from partial hemiplegia that is caused by muscle weakness require daily exercise to effectively work in physical rehabilitation
An analysis of the characteristics of human cycling motion is used to design a new wheelchair with leg exoskeletons that assist a user in exercise and rehabilitation of the lower limbs
Summary
The increasing number of elderly people, stroke-sufferers, and spinal cord injured ones in modern society has introduced unavoidable geriatric disorders, physical disabilities, and locomotion challenges, such as full or partial loss of hip, knee, and ankle function These conditions adversely affect the execution of daily activities, and in severe situations, they can even result in hemiplegic paralysis diseases.[1] Clinical medicine indicates that persons suffering from partial hemiplegia that is caused by muscle weakness require daily exercise to effectively work in physical rehabilitation. The proposed wheelchair with lower limb exoskeletons offers one such a promising solution
