BIOMEC is involved in the design of a hybrid exoskeleton for spinal cord injuries

The Biomechanical Engineering Lab (BIOMEC) of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya · BarcelonaTech (UPC) participates, together with the Biomechanics Unit of the National Hospital for Paraplegics (HNP), the Neural Rehabilitation Group of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and the Guttmann Institute of Barcelona, in the TAILOR project, whose objective is the development of customizable robotic and neuroprosthetic modular systems for gait assistance in patients with spinal cord injury. At the annual meeting of this scientific and technological consortium, which took place on February 7 at the HNP, the scientists and engineers shared the progress [...]

New journal article “Evaluation of Optimal Control Approaches for Predicting Active Knee-Ankle-Foot-Orthosis Motion for Individuals With Spinal Cord Injury”

Míriam Febrer and Josep Maria Font, from the BIOMEC Lab, have published the paper “Evaluation of Optimal Control Approaches for Predicting Active Knee-Ankle-Foot-Orthosis Motion for Individuals With Spinal Cord Injury” in the journal Frontiers in Neurobotics. This research has been carried out in collaboration with B.J. Fregly from the Rice Computational Biomechanics Lab (USA), within the framework of the HYBOR project and a Leonardo Grant for Researchers and Cultural Creators. This study investigates whether use of a computational approach to personalize pre-defined knee trajectory parameters for an active knee-ankle-foot [...]
