    Design of a Novel Loading Mechanism for in Vitro Spine Testing

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Sharif, Mohammad Reza (Author) ; Parnianpour, Mohamad (Supervisor) ; Narimani, Roya (Co-Advisor)
    Abstract
    In this project, we use a novel mechanism to control the lumbar rotational profile and also the disc pressure of L3/L4 and L4/L5. Spine, as one of the most important parts of human musculoskeletal system, helps human beings to walk on two feet without much energy consumption. Any problem in this part may cause moving disorders or pain. To heal severe spine disorders, many different methods like surgery and implantation are adopted. To be sure of proper functionality in the human body, these methods should be tested clinically in advance. Cadaver spine testing in vitro, is accepted as a gold standard to evaluate new methods. One of the main challenges facing spine in vitro tests is how to... 

    Design of a Novel Cable Driven Robotic System for Simulation of in vivo Loading of Cadaveric Lumbar Spine with Robustness-adaptive Controller for in vitro Spine Testing

    Abstract
    In this project we plan to propose a mechanism for controlling the profile of vertebra displacment and intera-discal pressure in in-vitro tests. Spineis the one of the most important members of the human musculoskeletal system. Health and stability of the spine help the people to moves on two legs. So any problems with this organ, causing movement problems and pain. For the treatment of spinal diseases, several methods such as surgery, insertion of implants and stabilizing were used. To ensure the accuracy of these methods, laboratory examination is essential. One of the ways to test these interventions, the implementation of in vitro tests on samples obtained from the bodies of the spine.... 

    Development and control of an intelligent assistive exo-glove via fuzzy controller and emotional learning system

    Abstract
    The aim of this article is design, fabricate, and control a conceptual prototype of a flexible wearable robot to increase fingers’ force using a novel cable mechanism. In this robot, force and position are controlled in separate phases by a fuzzy system equipped with emotional learning. A Flexible structure has been chosen for this robot, because flexible gloves are lighter and much more suitable for use in daily tasks compared to rigid structures. Since this system is supposed to be substituted for weak or damaged limb, it should have a behavior similar to the body organs as much as possible. Therefore, a novel mechanism, inspired by the natural movement mechanism of the human hand, has...
