A mobile ankle and knee perturbator has been developed. It consists of a functional joint with an integrated clutch. Four Bowden wires connect the joint to a powerful motor and a double pneumatic cylinder. When needed during any time of the gait cycle, it is possible to impose an ankle rotation by engaging the clutch and rotating the ankle or knee joint with a predefined displacement. The system is designed to investigate electrophysiological and biomechanical features of the human ankle or knee joint during gait.
一种可移动的脚踝和膝盖扰动器已被研发出来。它由一个带有集成离合器的功能性关节组成。四根鲍登线将该关节连接到一个强大的电机和一个双气缸。在步态周期的任何时刻,当需要时,通过接合离合器并以预定义的位移旋转脚踝或膝关节,就可以施加脚踝旋转。该系统旨在研究人类在步态过程中脚踝或膝关节的电生理和生物力学特征。
