Description
A2PER applies a torque to the segment downstream of the mobilized joint
(1 active rotational DOF mobilized, leaving 5 passive/free DOFs), which results in:
• Cancellation of the two forces of the applied torque
• No stress on the joint
• Physiological functioning of the joint, whose natural kinematics are respected
• No adjustments required è time savings
• Freedom for the limb to describe its kinematics
• Solution dedicated to post-stroke rehabilitation
The mechanical transmission of the motor cut-off can be done:
• From the pelvis to the thigh (neighboring segments)
• From the pelvis to the leg (distant segments)
• From an external support to any limb (manipulation)
