In my relent­less search for arti­cles in the field of reha­bi­li­ta­tion robo­tics, I will publish some com­ments on excel­lent arti­cles. With this I hope to help people who search rele­vant papers and also to find experts in the field for dis­cus­sions and exch­ange. Ever­y­body inte­res­ted in the arti­cles I found may take a look at my arti­cles at CiteU­Like.

My dis­ser­ta­tion is about coope­ra­tive con­trol stra­te­gies for the gait orthe­sis Loko­mat. This field tou­ches the fol­lo­wing sub­ject areas:

  1. Reha­bi­li­ta­tion robo­tics (the big term),
  2. Con­trol stra­te­gies in general,
  3. Varia­ble struc­ture con­trol (swing and stance phase),
  4. Coope­ra­tive con­trol stra­te­gies (adap­tive behaviour),
  5. Para­me­ter iden­ti­fi­ca­tion (online if possible),
  6. Ite­ra­tive learning,
  7. Pati­ent model (so far the pati­ent is seen as a dis­tur­bance) and
  8. Inter­face con­cept (in the end, the­ra­pists shall use all that with ease).

This post is an expe­ri­ment, since sci­en­tists are so far not using web­logs as a means of exch­ange and dis­cus­sion. At least I don’t know of any. But since I like the idea of web­logs I try to make a start in that and use it for sci­en­ti­fic pur­po­ses. I will publish in English, since that enhan­ces chan­ces to be found by sci­en­tists all over the world.
