Stress Analysis of Lower Limb Exoskeleton for Walking Assistance using Finite Element Method

摘要

Lower limb exoskeletons are well-known as powerful tool to help therapists in the patient rehabilitation who have suffered from neurological situations. In the present study, the design of the walking assistance lower limb exoskeleton is developed. The main object of this work is to carried out the stress analysis of such design using finite element analysis (FEA). FEA based commercial software ABAQUS is used. The simulation results show that the developed design of lower limb exoskeletons is safe for walking assistance. This result can be a guide to make a reliable design of exoskeletons.
