Short abstract and comments
The main objective of this project is the development of an exoskeleton for the lower limbs. It includes the development of a portable system for online monitoring of EMG signals in the lower limbs. The system is composed of standard gel or textile EMG electrodes attached to a compact box with a mini-computer with Wi-Fi connection and a custom signal acquisition board.
Potential uses/indications
Trauma; Rehabilitation.
