    Adaptive Ground Clearance Control for Preparation for Fall in a Wearable Assistive Device

    No full text
    Reducing the risks of falls is one of the main tasks for walking assistive devices. Some elderly people who fear falls tend to lower the distance between the ground and the support tip of the assistive device (ground clearance), but it is very easy to obstruct their walking and also not good for their health by always providing support because they lose the opportunities to use their muscles. However, if the ground clearance is too large, the risk of falls would also increase. In this paper, we introduced the concept of adaptive ground clearance to adjust the ground clearance dynamically during walking so that the assistive device can always prepare for falls. First, the ground reaction forces on two feet are modeled based on the symmetry walking assumption. Thus, the vertical motion on the hip during walking can be estimated. Second, a wearable device prototype was built according to the information about hip vertical displacement. Finally, a PID position control method was implemented on the prototype, using a low-cost distance sensor to enable real-time ground clearance adjustment. This work may inspire the design of rollators and walkers to reduce the reaction time and to prepare for falls

    Kinematic Design and Analysis of a Wearable End-Effector Type Upper Limb Assistive Robot

    No full text
    A novel wearable end-effector type upper limb assistive robot for stroke hemiplegic patients is proposed, and a 3 DOF 4R-5R parallel mechanism for this type of robots is presented. Assistive functions of the robot are finalized to motion and force assistance to allow patients to have their paralyzed limb perform auxiliary roles in ADL. Kinematics of this mechanism, including joint configuration and placement of three active joints, is presented, followed by displacement analysis and workspace analysis. Motion of the proposed mechanism is confirmed by an experimental prototype

    Design and Preliminary Testing of WELiBot: A Wearable End-Effector Type Upper Limb Assistive Robot

    No full text
    A full-scale prototype of a 3-DOF 4R-5R parallel mechanism for a wearable end-effector type upper limb assistive robot called "WELiBot" is fabricated. Owing to its kinematic structure, it can assist the user's upper limb in motions where the generation of vertical force and constrain along/on certain geometries are required. EMG measurements were collected from a healthy person as a preliminary evaluation prior to clinical trials with hemiplegic patients. Muscle activities of the person's upper limb were measured for the cases with and without assistance, and the results were compared. The results show that when the robot-assisted the arm-raising motion, activity in specific muscles of the upper arm and forearm decreased significantly. This confirmed the effectiveness of the motion assistance by the robot. On the other hand, no decrease in activity was observed in the shoulder muscles

    Skelosophusa prolixa Ng and Takeda 1994

    Remarks on Skelosophusa prolixa Ng and Takeda, 1994 (Fig. 4) The first author discovered five specimens from northern Madagascar in the unidentified collection of the NHM (NHM 2009.119, NHM 2009.120 -121, NHM 2009.122, NHM 2009.123, NHM 2009.124) that proved to belong to Skelosophusa prolixa. All of these specimens were collected from Riviére Cave, Cañon Forestier, Ankarana, 60 km south of Diego Suarez, northern Madagascar, 8 August-27 September 1986, by N. W. Lear and S. U. Fowler. Although the locality is similar to that reported for the holotype, it may be possible that these specimens are topotypic, and were collected at the same time as the original type series. However, it is difficult to be certain of this because the date of collection and the names of the collectors were not supplied in the original description (Ng and Takeda, 1994). Skelosophusa prolixa was previously known only from two specimens collected from this same locality. Th e holotype described by Ng and Takeda (1994) has a CW of 25.6 mm and CL of 18.8 mm; these two measurements give a cw/cl ratio of 1.3 (compared to 1.4 for the present specimens). This species possesses a number of adaptations (e.g. normal length eyestalks but with reduced corneas, lack of pigmentation of the carapace and legs, and extremely long ambulatory legs, p2-p5) typical of true cave-adapted species of freshwater crabs (Ng and Takeda, 1994). Th e adult male specimen among the new material photographed here (Fig. 4 A–D) (CW 29.3 mm) is larger than the holotype male (CW 25.6 mm) and shows characters of the cheliped that have not previously been described. For example, the immovable finger of the major cheliped of S. prolixa has one large, fused molar tooth in adults, whereas that of the holotype male, a smaller specimen, has only small teeth (Ng and Takeda, 1994).Published as part of Cumberlidge, Neil & Meyer, Kristin, 2009, A new species of Foza Reed & Cumberlidge, 2006 from northern Madagascar (Decapoda, Brachyura, Potamoidea, Potamonautidae), with a redescription of F. goudoti (H.
