Modified Computed Torque Control of a Robotic Orthosis for Gait Rehabilitation
Abstract:
Rehabilitation robots may help the patient improve their recovery by supporting them to perform repetitive, systematic training sessions. Safety and comfortable feeling of the patients who training with robots is an important issue in not only the steady state but also the transient process. In this research, the trajectory tracking control problems of a two-degrees of freedom (2-DOF) robotic orthosis is discussed. The robotic orthosis is powered by pneumatic artificial muscles (PAMs) in an antagonistic configuration. based on a mathematical model, a modified computed torque control scheme is employed to enhance the tracking performance. The effectiveness of the proposed control strategy is verified by the experiments with the participation of different subjects.

Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
Modified Boxplots
However, the box plot does not tell the reader about outliers - values that lie far from the center of the data. We can modify the standard box and whisker plot to identify the outliers and visualize the actual spread of the data in a sample.
Initially, we calculate the adjusted...
