Abstract

Robotics have been engaged to address the shortcomings of conventional rehabilitation therapy as well as the ever increasing demand for rehabilitation services. This paper presents the kinematics of a 3DoF lower limb exoskeleton restricted to the sagittal plane. The Denavit-Hartenberg representation, as well as the geometrical solution approach, are employed to obtain the forward and inverse kinematics of the exoskeleton, respectively. A simulation study is performed to validate the proposed model.
