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…
To control an actuated ankle–foot orthosis (AAFO) during walking, a selectively adaptive hybrid fuzzy control employing particle-swarm optimization was used in conjunction with a Lyapunov-theory-based adaptive fuzzy-logic control. Adaptation (a computationally expensive process) was performed only w
As a life-threatening disease, stroke can lead to long-term problems affecting the patients’ daily living ability. A common problem facing post-stroke patients is foot drop. An emerging modality of interest for correcting the foot drop is to combine both actuated ankle-foot orthosis (AAFO) and funct…
