Titel
Understanding the Human Motor Control for User-Centered Design of Custom Wearable Systems: Case Studies in Sports, Industry, Rehabilitation
Abstract
This paper shows how studies on the biomechanics and neuroscience of human movements might be used for the design of wearable systems customized for humans. Such design is driven by key biomechanical and neuromuscular parameters extracted from accurate measurements made on the human body motion, as well as by subjective data collected from the end-users of the products through questionnaires. We present three case studies developed at ERGOS Lab: a wearable system for sports performance analysis; a synergy-based approach for industrial wearable robots; a soft wearable robotic glove for hand rehabilitation.
