Abstract

Constructive scheme for the design of a multi-purpose portable movable orthosis with elastic elements is proposed. The static balancing cases of biomechanical systems with this orthosis-assistant are considered during waking and sitting. This orthosis can be applied for the physiotherapy, movement support, exercises of human walking and sit-to-stand. A numerical analysis of the scheme is carried out; its operating modes, advantages and disadvantages are revealed.
