Detailní popis
The overall goal of this project is to develop modular, lower-limb, powered orthoses that fit to user-specific joints and control torque in a manner that enhances voluntary motion and mitigates musculoskeletal pain. Commercial exoskeletons typically use actuation and control methods that force the human user to follow specific, rigid gait patterns. This has prevented emerging wearable robotics from effectively addressing the weakness and pain associated with mild to moderate impairments, such as knee osteoarthritis (OA). These populations require partial, task-agnostic assistance that works harmoniously with their voluntary motion rather than constraining it.
To bridge this gap, this project utilizes a quasi-direct drive actuation paradigm, a high-torque motor combined with a low-ratio transmission, integrated into conventional knee stabilizer and unloader braces. This hardware is uniquely capable of producing large output torques without causing perceptible resistance when backdriven by the human joint. To control the device across various activities of daily living (ADLs) without requiring pre-programmed trajectories, the investigators are developing a neural network-based formulation of "energy shaping" (effectively combining virtual springs, dampers, and gravity/inertia compensation) trained on multi-activity human data.
The specific objectives of this study period are to:
- Integrate the modular quasi-direct drive actuator and miniaturized electronics into both a modified knee stabilizer brace and a modified unloader knee brace.
- Implement and validate the neural network-based energy shaping controller to provide task-agnostic, biomimetic torque assistance with able-bodied subjects.
- Establish the clinical feasibility of this technology in individuals with multi-compartment knee OA.
The investigators hypothesize that the biomimetic torque assistance provided by these motorized braces will significantly reduce quadriceps effort, knee joint moment loads, and subjective pain across ADLs.

Tato studie bude zkoumat modulární ortézy s pohonem pro dolní končetiny, které se hodí na uživatelsky specifické oslabené klouby a ovládají sílu/točivý moment způsobem, který zvyšuje dobrovolný pohyb u široké populace pacientů.
Ústřední hypotézou je, že motorické systémy s vysokým točivým momentem a nízkou setrvačností řízené energetickými objektivy umožní modulárním ortézám částečně pomáhat kloubům.
Elektromotory s vysokým točivým momentem v kombinaci s minimálními převody lze volně otáčet (tj. zpětně poháněné) lidskými klouby, což umožňuje použití nově vznikající metody řízení točivého momentu nazývané energetické tvarování ke snížení vnímané hmotnosti/setrvačnosti těla během jakéhokoli pohybu.
Montáží těchto modulárních aktuátorů do komerčních ortéz bude tato technologie snadno předepisována/konfigurována klinickými lékaři.

Muscle effort
Časové okno: Baseline and through study completion, an average of 2 months
|
Muscle activity will be measured by surface EMG electrodes, and EMG sites will be averaged by flexors and extensors.
For each condition (no orthosis vs. powered orthosis), signals will be normalized by their peaks during the no-orthosis condition, and then averaged over cycle, repetitions, and tasks to obtain overall muscle effort (focusing on knee extension for the powered knee orthosis, hip extension and flexion for the powered hip orthosis, and ankle plantarflexion for the powered ankle orthosis).

Joint moment load
Časové okno: Baseline and through study completion, an average of 2 months
|
Biological torques will be estimated by subtracting the assistive torques from the total joint torques computed via inverse dynamics (using OpenSim).
Biological torques will be divided into flexion and extension.

Pain score
Časové okno: Baseline and through study completion, an average of 2 months

The Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) will be used to assess perceived pain for a multi-activity circuit test and isolated activity tests. The KOOS evaluates both short-term and long-term consequences of knee injury. It holds 42 items in 5 separately scored subscales; Pain, other Symptoms, Function in daily living (ADL), Function in Sport and Recreation (Sport/Rec), and knee-related Quality of Life (QOL). It is an extension of the WOMAC Osteoarthritis Index. A Likert scale is used and all items have five possible answer options scored from 0 (No Problems) to 4 (Extreme Problems) and each of the five scores is calculated as the sum of the items included. Scores are transformed to a 0-100 scale, with zero representing extreme knee problems and 100 representing no knee problems as common in orthopaedic assessment scales and generic measures. |

QUEST
Časové okno: Baseline and through study completion, an average of 2 months
|
We will administer the Quebec User Evaluation of Satisfaction with Assistive Technology (QUEST 2.0) survey after each orthosis condition to assess comfort and satisfaction with the device. The QUEST 2.0 is a highly-validated, 12-item self-report questionnaire designed to measure how satisfied a person is with a wide range of assistive technology. It contains 12 items divided into 2 primary categories: device subscale and services subscale. Participants rate each item using a 5-point Likert scale: 1 = Not satisfied at all, 2 = Not very satisfied, 3 = More or less satisfied, 4 = Quite satisfied, 5 = Very satisfied. To calculate the final metrics, the scores of the items are summed and divided by the total number of valid responses. This yields three separate scores ranging from 1.0 to 5.0: a Device Score, a Services Score, and a Total QUEST Score. Higher scores indicate a better outcome (greater satisfaction with the technology). |
