Exoskeleton rehabilitation and biomechanics lab

Hands-on rehabilitation-robotics work: exoskeleton sessions with spinal-cord-injury patients and multimodal gait analysis in the motion-capture lab.

What I did

  • Ran biomechanical and gait studies with Qualisys motion capture, AMTI force plates and Delsys Trigno EMG.
  • Operated the Fourier ExoMotus X2 lower-limb exoskeleton with spinal-cord-injury patients, controlling its walking behavior through ROS (admittance control) and troubleshooting faults.
  • Tested EEG systems, 3D-scanned and printed medical components (EinScan HX, Raise3D E2), and supported student project teams.
