Analysis of a Structural Model of an Orthotic Robot Hip Subsystem

The paper describes a design solution for realizing turns of the lower limbs to be implemented in the "Veni-Prometheus" orthotic robot, developed at the Division of Design of Precision Devices, Faculty of Mechatronics, Warsaw University of Technology. The paper presents a conception of the device, connected with the hip belt and enabling flexion, extension and rotation of the hip joint. The realized simulation studies enabled evaluation of chosen parameters of the structural model of the proposed module with respect to possibilities of its implementation in the System for Verticalization and Aiding the Motion for the disabled and patients suffering from a declined use of the lower limbs.
