The Impact of a Soft Back Exosuit on Various Movement Tasks: Standing with Perturbation

Abstract

In partnership with ASU’s Neuromuscular Control and Human Robotics Lab, this project focuses on the design validation testing of a soft-back exosuit. The device is primarily composed of adjustable, elastic components with a small, active, pneumatic jamming system incorporated for additional support. This particular project is a motion capture study focused on testing the device impact on margin of stability during standing trip perturbations.
