This paper deals with the stabilization of a new open-loop unstable non-linear
biomechanical model to represent a person living with a spinal cord injury. The …

Few biomechanical models of sitting stability have been proposed over the last decades and
most of them control the trunk position through a lumbar torque. Unfortunately, this type of …

The human body represents a collection of interacting systems that range in scale from
nanometers to meters. Investigations from a systems perspective focus on how the parts …

Several lower-limb exoskeletons enable overcoming obstacles that would impair daily
activities of wheelchair users, such as going upstairs. Still, as most of the currently …
