Tesis doctorales relacionadas con el proyecto

Finalizadas:

Antonio José del Ama Espinosa. Ingeniero Industrial. Tesis Doctoral: Hybrid walking therapy with fatigue management for spinal cord injured individuals. Supervisors: Dr. Juan C. Moreno (CSIC), Dr Ángel Gil (HNP) and Dr. Luis Moreno (UC3M). 25 October 2013. Apto Cum Laude.
The objective of this thesis is to develop a hybrid control strategy to combine a NP and a NR for hybrid control of the knee joint for SCI individuals, comprising monitoring of muscle performance and implementing muscle fatigue strategies.

The aim of the thesis is to develop and evaluate a partial body weight support –PBWS- system integrated with a lower robotic exoskeleton for gait rehabilitation in a real ambulatory scenario. This system is proposed as a way to improve safety, usability, energy storage, weight acceptance and adaptability in the rehabilitation of the patient with spinal cord injury--or other pathologies--who present serious mobility problems.
