Grant Title: Modeling the movement of a human limb and its interaction with an orthotic system.

 

This work is oriented to the development of control systems for orthosis with adaptive capabilities so as to be able to fit to different pathologies and different states of tiredness and stress. One of the problems to face is modeling the movement of a limb which commands come from human intention (volitional command), reactive inputs, or externally controlled. The second challenge is to design and develop the interaction human limb-orthosis.
