My research is focused on measurement system for robotic rehabilitation. In particular understanding how to develop low-cost reliable system to help investigate internal forces and torques.
One of my main projects is aimed at measuring internal forces acting on the shoulders of paraplegic exoskeleton users during training, to improve their progress in controlling their gait without damaging their upper limbs.
Another one of my projects focuses on techniques to estimate the inertial parameters of upper limbs of handcycle users, using a fast passive test.
I am also working with hand rehabilitation, by learning how to control a robotic glove using sEMG signals to mirror the healthy hand movements.
For all these projects we developed internally the measuring system (instrumented crutches, sensing handles, sEMG detector), the data processing techniques, and the biomechanical model used for internal forces assessment.
