Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Rehabilitation Technology
  • Human-Machine Interfaces

Background:

  • Powered exoskeletons are emerging for spinal cord injury (SCI) and stroke rehabilitation, requiring precise fit for safety.
  • Current exoskeleton fitting relies on user experience, posing risks for patients with impaired sensation.
  • Excessive strap pressure can cause severe skin complications, including ulcers and tissue necrosis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a system for monitoring pressure exerted by physical human-machine interfaces in powered exoskeletons.
  • To provide objective data on skin/body pressure levels in exoskeleton fastening straps.
  • To mitigate risks of skin injury and improve user safety and comfort.

Main Methods:

  • A system comprising sensing arrays, signal processing hardware with wireless transmission, and an interactive GUI was designed.
  • The system was integrated into a lower-body powered exoskeleton for validation.
  • Experimental trials were conducted with both spinal cord injury (SCI) and able-bodied subjects.

Main Results:

  • The developed system effectively monitored pressure levels exerted by exoskeleton straps.
  • Data collected provided insights into skin/body pressure distribution during exoskeleton use.
  • The system demonstrated potential for real-time pressure feedback and adjustment.

Conclusions:

  • The pressure monitoring system offers a solution to prevent skin injuries in mobility-impaired individuals using powered exoskeletons.
  • This technology can enhance the safety, functionality, and overall quality of life for exoskeleton users.
  • Further research and integration into clinical practice are recommended.
