1 ROBOTIC EXOSKELETONS BME 281 Brandon Williams
2 PROBLEM BEING SOLVED Inability to walk due to thoracic and lumbar spinal cord injury Reduce risk of secondary problems such as diabetes, heart disease, and osteoporosis Improve quality of life (reduce pain) Reduce social issues
3 IMPORTANCE 250,000 Americans are spinal cord injured Approximately 12,500 new injuries occur each year in the U.S. 56% of injuries occur between the ages of 16 and 30 Causes Of Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) Vehicular 38% Falls 30% Violence (primarily gunshot wounds) 14% Sports/Recreation Activities 9% Medical/Surgical 5% Other 4%
4 HISTORY 2 nd century BC first wheeled seats used in china Harry Jennings and his disabled friend Herbert Everest, both mechanical engineers, invented the first lightweight, steel, collapsible wheelchair 1960s Armed forces developed the Hardiman suit which weighed 1500 lbs and could move at about 2.5 ft/s LIFESUIT was created by Monty Reed, a United States Army Ranger who had broken his back in a parachute accident LIFESUIT VII was able to complete 3 miles in 90 minutes 2013 FDA approves first commercial sale of Rewalk robotic exoskeleton
5 RECIPROCATING GAIT ORTHOSES Unpowered First introduced in 1967 Flexion of one hip extends the other Use with walker or crutches High energy exertion Slow walking speed
6 REWALK ROBOTICS Enables paraplegics to stand upright, walk and climb stairs Backpack battery Wrist-mounted remote which detects and enhances the user's movements Motors located at the hip and knee joints Costs about $70,000 Weighs about 51 lbs
7 GAIT WITH ROBOTIC EXOSKELETON
8 EKSO BIONICS First exoskeleton approved by the FDA for use in patients affected by stroke Motors can be controlled individually only providing power where necessary Weighs 55 pounds Provides trunk support Costs about $110,000
9 CLINICAL TRIALS 8 Rewalk, 3 Ekso, and 2 Indego studies 76% of the patients could walk without physical assistance Same average physiological cost of able-bodied person walking 61% increase in bowel regularity in 3 studies 38% decrease in spasticity in 5 studies Only 1 study report falls
10 MILITARY USE Human Universal Load Carrier (HULC) Titanium System transfers up to 200 lbs Range up to 12 miles handles 7 mph and short bursts of up to 10 mph Power assisted straps for heavy lifting
11 FUTURE Soft exoskeleton Pneumatic muscles Lighter, more flexible More customizable Cheaper Weather resistant Distant future: skin tight exoskeleton
