Robotic exoskeleton analyses spine deformities

10-Apr-2018

Key points from article :

Dynamic exoskeleton measures the stiffness of the torso.

Could help treat spinal deformities such as scoliosis and kyphosis.

Robotic Spine Exoskeleton consists of three rings placed on the pelvis and spine.

RoSE has 12 limbs with actuators, joints and sensors that measure forces.

Columbia University braces modulates and measures in all six degrees-of-freedom.
