DEVICE AND METHOD FOR STRENGTHENING THE ARMS OF HUAMAN EXOSKELETONS

An exoskeleton (251) includes an arm brace (230) coupled to an arm (200) of a wearer (250) and a tensile member (257, 258) connected to the arm brace (230). An actuator (285) exerts a pulling force on the tensile member (257, 258). The pulling force reduces a length of the tensile member (257, 258)...

Zusammenfassung:An exoskeleton (251) includes an arm brace (230) coupled to an arm (200) of a wearer (250) and a tensile member (257, 258) connected to the arm brace (230). An actuator (285) exerts a pulling force on the tensile member (257, 258). The pulling force reduces a length of the tensile member (257, 258) between the arm brace (230) and the actuator (285) and causes the arm (200) of the wearer (250) to bend at an elbow (202).
