Enhancing Voluntary Motion in Broad Patient Populations With Modular Powered Orthoses
Recruiting now · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Lower-limb Orthoses, Frailty/Sarcopenia, Chronic Overuse Musculoskeletal Injuries
In brief
The overall goal of this project is to develop modular, lower-limb, powered orthoses that fit to user-specific weakened joints and control force/torque in a manner that enhances voluntary motion in broad patient populations. This project aims to establish feasibility of assisting different populations with these modular powered orthoses. The investigators hypothesize that assisting lower-limb musculature with modular powered orthoses will improve 1) lifting/lowering posture in able-bodied subjects and 2) functional outcomes in elderly subjects.
