Exoskeleton design for rehabilitation of patients with disabilities

This study involves the design and production of an exoskeleton that provides patients carry out walking motion. It is predicted that this designed exoskeleton reduces the recovery period since patients' walking rehabilitation is carried out more effectively. The exoskeleton that is going to help patients to execute walking motion is composed of limbs and six axes control card together with step motors and motor drivers is used. Real-time walking analyses are practiced through human model on computer environment, necessary momentum for walking motion is calculated, once again, strength calculations of the exoskeleton is carried out. Real-time signals are obtained through considering data resulted from graphics of walking movements and via these signals step engines that operates the limbs are controlled.
