Abstract
Exoskeletons are mechatronic devices used to increase human muscles strength and resistance. In the last decade these devices have become a very useful tool to assist in active kinesiotherapy. This paper deals with the design of a control law for the so called Exoskeleton for Lower Limb Training with Instrumented Orthoses (ELLTIO) using SEA (Series Elastic Actuator), to perform a rehabilitation routine for knee and ankle. An adaptive control scheme is proposed and implemented in real-time experiments.
