This research presents an Assist-as-Needed (AAN) Algorithm for controlling a bio-inspired exoskeleton, specifically designed to aid in elbow-rehabilitation exercises. The algorithm is based on a Force Sensitive Resistor (FSR) Sensor and utilizes machine-learning algorithms that are personalized to each patient, allowing them to complete the exercise by themselves whenever possible. The system was tested on five participants, including four with Spinal Cord Injury and one with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, with an accuracy of 91.22%. In addition to monitoring the elbow range of motion, the system uses Electromyography signals from the biceps to provide patients with real-time feedback on their progress, which can serve as a motivator to complete the therapy sessions. The study has two main contributions: (1) providing patients with real-time, visual feedback on their progress by combining range of motion and FSR data to quantify disability levels, and (2) developing an assist-as-needed algorithm for rehabilitative support of robotic/exoskeleton devices. |
