Welcome to Exoskeletons for prevention and rehabilitation

Program: BEN (also relevant for HES)

Description: 

This PhD course will provide the participants with the current existing knowledge on exoskeletons used for prevention and rehabilitation purposes. The presentations will address both passive and active exoskeletons used for prevention of musculoskeletal disorders due to e.g. excessive load on the low-back or shoulder region as well as rehabilitation after for instance amputation. We will also discuss methods for human-robot interfacing and artificial sensory feedback for exoskeletons.

The PhD course will also include colleagues participating in the Aalborg Robotic Challenge.

Prerequisites: 

Physiological and Biomechanical understanding.

Form of evaluation:

Quiz at the end of the PhD course.

Key literature: 

Articles distributed in relation to the PhD course.
