Exoskeleton design
Štancl, Jan ; Lázna, Tomáš (referee) ; Kopečný, Lukáš (advisor)
The bachelor paper „Exoskeleton design“ deals with development of prosthetic exoskeleton of index finger. The exoskeleton is for patient who lost the distal and middle articles of the index finger. The exoskeleton consist of three articles. Distal and middle articles are powered by one linear actuator, proximal article is passive. The articles are mechanically connected to each other. The rotary potenciometer senses the bend angle at the MP joint, which corresponds to the desired position of the exoskeleton. Feedback is provided by optic gate that senses the engine revolutions.

Walking aids - review
Gazda, Ondřej ; Mašek, Petr (referee) ; Krejsa, Jiří (advisor)
This thesis is focused on walking aids. Exoskeletons an active (robotic) orthosis have achieved great development since its inception and have a large range of application. In this thesis I will focus on active orthosis that are intended for the disabled and the elderly. Described are the concepts of walking aids and recently implemented projects. Part of this thesis is an evaluation criteria proposal and evaluating of each concept according to these criteria. In the end the main developmental progress and problems yet to be overcome are summarized.

Design of a hydraulic pressure system of a powered exoskeleton
Tomeček, Michal ; Tůma, Zdeněk (referee) ; Knoflíček, Radek (advisor)
The main goal of this diploma thesis is to design a hydraulic system for robotic exoskeleton actuation. In the first part of the thesis a list of available sources of exoskeleton designs, is presented, followed by a thorough systematic analysis of hydraulic system elements and their use for this application, is made. The second part of the thesis consists of the hydraulic system design, as well the mechanical design for the hydraulic system which is subsequently tested structurally in the Autodesk Inventor software. The last part of the thesis consists of risk analysis and critical evaluation of thesis‘ results.

Case study of use of a motorized exoskeleton as an orthotic aid in the case of post-traumatic paraplegia
Herrmann, Norbert ; Neuwirthová, Svatava (advisor) ; Pavlů, Dagmar (referee)
Title: Case study of use of a motorized exoskeleton as an orthotic aid in the case of post-traumatic paraplegia. Objectives: Assessment of the effectiveness of using a motorized orthosis to improve motor functions of a patient diagnosed with paraplegia due to a spinal cord injury. Methods: The theoretical part introduces the issue of post-traumatic spinal cord injury and related paraplegia and follows a description of the function of the motorized exoskeleton (and comparable devices) as an orthotic device. The practical part describes the case of a patient with post-traumatic paraplegia of the lower limbs, which includes anamnesis, diagnosis, planned therapies and especially the course of the therapy with the exoskeleton, including its settings, application, walking training and data collection. Results: There was a remarkable progress in the patient's gait achievement during the therapy with the use of the exoskeleton. These advances were based on the data recorded by the software during the individual therapies with the exoskeleton. In addition to gait therapy with an exoskeleton, the patient underwent other supportive therapies, leading to an overall significant improvement in the patient's physical condition and motor skills. After completing the prescribed therapies with the exoskeleton, the...

The Possibilities of Using Exoskeletal Suit Ekso GTTM in Physiotherapy with Spinal Cord Injury Patients
Smolej, Július ; Pětioký, Jakub (advisor) ; Slámová, Adéla (referee)
OF BACHELOR THESIS Autor: Július Smolej Vedoucí práce: Mgr. Jakub Pětioký, DiS. Title of bachelor thesis: The Possibilities of Using Exoskeletal Suit Ekso GTTM in Physiotherapy with Spinal Cord Injury Patients Abstract of bachelor thesis: This bachelor thesis is focused on how exoskeletal suit Ekso GTTM can be utilized in physical therapy with spinal cord injury patients during their rehabilitation stay in RÚ Kladruby. Theoretical part of the thesis is based on literature review and reflects issues of spinal injuries, their epidemiology, clinical manifestation, examination, separate phases of spinal damage, treatment and health consequences. Furthermore, the theoretical part of this thesis deals with possibilities of hi-tech robotic technologies and their usage in rehabilitation, especially focused on lower limbs, where exoskeletal suit Ekso GTTM belongs. The practical part of this bachelor thesis is divided into two sections. First section consists of patient's case studies using exoskeletal suit Ekso GTTM that are supposed to assess therapeutic benefits in use of this robotic machine. The second section contains evaluation of retrospectively gathered information from therapies undergone with Ekso GTTM since 2014 until 2019. Evaluation will be shown graphically and using excel tables. Key words:...
