Neuro-muscular injuries affecting the peroneal nerve or ankle joint dorsiflexor muscles can lead to foot-drop (FD), characterized by a difficulty in dorsiflexing the ankle during the gait. This paper introduces mid- and low-level control strategies for providing an adaptive torque assistance at the
This paper introduces a novel funnel-based adaptive {{\mathcal{L}}_1}{{\mathcal{L}}_1} fuzzy control strategy for assisting ankle joint movement during walking with the use of an actuated ankle foot orthosis (AAFO). A projection-based adaptation mechanism employing a fuzzy system is used to estimate…
Foot-drop (FD) is a post-stroke gait disorder characterized by impaired foot lifting during the swing phase. This paper focuses on providing a continuous ankle joint assistance throughout the gait cycle using an actuated ankle foot orthosis (AAFO). The control strategy is based on an adaptive active
