Exoskeleton Design Considerations based on the Lower Extremity Musculoskeletal Anatomy
Abstrak
This paper focuses on providing a guide for improving the understanding of how joint movement is controlled by the musculoskeletal anatomy of the lower extremities for designers of lower extremity exoskeletons and prosthetics. The lower extremity has been subdivided by the three major joints: the hip, the knee, and the ankle. For each of these joints, attention is given to which muscles control the motion or degrees of freedom with respect to these joints. Based on the published medical anatomy and physiology literature, the muscles are organized in tables by their major innervations and primary motion (flexion, extension adduction, abduction, etc.) and then by secondary and more complex motion. The provided illustrations show the location of the major flexors and extensors for the three major joints. These drawings and tables can provide a quick reference and understanding of the motion at each of the lower extremity joints, when designing intuitive and comfortable lower limb prosthetics or exoskeletons, particularly those that incorporate surface electromyography (EMG) sensors for sensing voluntary motion and machine learning (ML) for control.
