Robotic Leg Rehabilitation Device
.
The loss of the ability to walk is undeniably devastating to an individual. Gait training and rehabilitation is not a modern concept, but with modern technology, engineers and researchers are working to develop exoskeletons to help rehabilitate a patient at a more accelerated rate. Critical line tension force measurements are collected during the development of motor-assisted exoskeletons to ensure that adequate assistance is provided at different stages of treatment.
.
How it Works :
-
The LSB200 Jr. Miniature S-Beam Load Cell is mounted inline of the tension wire.
-
The LSB200 load cell will measure tension forces while patient’s legs while walking/moving.
-
Measurement feedback collected from the LSB200 can be used to diagnose the current status of the patient and track future improvements.
-
These measurements can be streamed from the USB220 up to 4,800 samples per second to a PC for data capture and analysis.
-
Or the the load cell outputs can be amplified to a PLC with the IAA Series analog amplifiers.
