Human-Exoskeleton control simulation, kinetic and kinematic modeling and parameters extraction

In this study, a simulation-based method is presented for the designing and analysis of the parameters of an exoskeleton and its wearer’s kinetics and kinematics. Model-based design software, including OpenSim and Inventor, and mathematical software, such as MATLAB, are integrated. This method can assist in the modification of exoskeleton devices and allow physiologists, neuroscientists, and physical therapists to generate new solutions for rehabilitation programs using exoskeletons. •Using the movements parameters of each individual subject in her/his exoskeleton design•Combining the power of OpenSim body movement and the ability of Matlab in mathematical calculations•Considering the effect of exoskeleton parameters on each muscle-skeleton movementGraphical abstract
