This research project proposes to develop and evaluate hybrid adaptive strategies for the robotic rehabilitation of walking, using adaptive control algorithms and new interfaces of communication and interaction between the user and the robotic devices, such as, for example, Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) and Virtual Reality (VR). Specifically, we intend to develop an integrated s…
The main objective is to develop an adaptive strategy based on variable impedance for walking rehabilitation of post-stroke patients. The proposed strategy will be evaluated in two different robotic devices. The first device is the lower limb exoskeleton Exo-Kanguera, designed and built by the proposer in previous projects. The device has three degrees of freedom, acting at hip, knee, and…

Worldwide, as the average life expectancy increases, the number of people in need of physiotherapy rises. Besides, it is noted that not only stroke survivors and individuals with spinal cord injury demand for these services, but also SARS-CoV-2 patients, after long bed rest periods, need some gait therapy sessions. In order to turn physiotherapy more efficient, virtual reality and robotic…
Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the progression of motor impairments and decreased quality of life. Robotic therapy has been recommended to complement conventional therapy with some advantages, such as controllable assistance during movements, good dynamics in therapy (repetitiveness of tasks), greater motivation duing training through the use of inter…
In this project, a new rotary Series Elastic Actuator (rSEA), more compact and lightweight, will be developed aiming to be coupled to the robotic exoskeleton Exo-TAO (Transparent Active Orthosis), designed and built in the Laboratory of Robotic Rehabilitation from EESC/USP. Such equipment is being developed to aid the rehabilitation of post operatives process and cognitive injuries that a…

This postdoctoral project proposes a one-year visit to the Newman Laboratory for Biomechanics and Human Rehabilitation, Department of Mechanical Engineering of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The goal is to develop new strategies for rehabilitation of post-stroke patients using Anklebot. This robotic device has two active degrees of freedom which move the ankle joints by contro…
