Rehabilitation Robotic System and Training Method Using EMG Signal to Provide Mechanical Help
A robotic system for rehabilitation using EMG signals to provide mechanical help includes EMG electrodes (6) sequentially connected in series, a DAS card (2) and a control portion (1), and further includes an actuator (3) connected to the DAS card (2) and an additional moment providing portion (4) connected to the actuator (3). The EMG electrodes sense EMG signals corresponding to the muscle of suffering joint, and input the sensed EMG signals to the control portion (1) through the DAS card (2). The control portion (1) uses the input EMG signals and a constant moment set as desired to calculate an additional moment to be applied to the suffering joint, and additional moment providing portion (4) is controlled to apply the corresponding additional moment to the suffering joint through the DAS card (2) and the actuator (3).

Title: DEVICE FOR CORRECTING SPINAL DEFORMITIES | DISPOSITIF POUR CORRIGER LES MALFORMATIONS DE LA COLONNE VERTEBRALE
Usefulness: DEVICE FOR CORRECTING SPINAL DEFORMITIES | DISPOSITIF POUR CORRIGER LES MALFORMATIONS DE LA COLONNE VERTEBRALE
Summary: Applicable for correction of spinal deformities including scoliosis, kyphosis, lordosis and rotation around longitudinal axis of spine.
Novelty: Correction device for spinal deformities has support member which is joined to deformed spine portion by anchor member to provide constant correction force to deformed spine portion until spine deformities are fully corrected
