Human motion measurement and mechanism analysis during exoskeleton design

Abstract

The lower limb exoskeleton can help the paralyzed walk again, also can be used to reduce the body weight. it is necessary to promote the anthropomorphic and man-machine matching of exoskeleton. The man-machine matching is divided into two, one is the structure matching and the other is the driven matching involving the biomechanics of the muscle. This article puts forward the design rule of exoskeleton based on characteristics of leg movement and muscles function. The main research work includes the measuring of human movement gait, simulation of drive muscle and exoskeleton bionics design.
