Control of an Ambulatory Exoskeleton with a Brain–Machine Interface for Spinal Cord Injury Gait Rehabilitation
Eduardo López-Larraz,Fernando Trincado-Alonso,Vijaykumar Rajasekaran,Soraya Pérez-Nombela,Antonio J. del-Ama,Joan Aranda,Javier Minguez,Ángel Gil-Agudo,Luis Montesano +8 more
TL;DR: A closed-loop BMI system to control an ambulatory exoskeleton—without any weight or balance support—for gait rehabilitation of incomplete spinal cord injury patients, and its viability in a clinical scenario was tested with four SCI patients.
Competency Maps: an Effective Model to Integrate Professional Competencies Across a STEM Curriculum
Fermín Sánchez Carracedo,Antonia Soler,Carme Martin,David Jesús Palma López,Alicia Ageno,Jose Cabre,Jordi Garcia,Joan Aranda,Karina Gibert +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a model to globally develop professional competencies in a STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) degree program is presented, and assesses the results of its implementation after 4 years.
An adaptive control strategy for postural stability using a wearable robot
TL;DR: The results demonstrate that knowing the stability limit of each subject, in combination with a therapeutically selected scaling factor, the proposed adaptive control helps in providing an effective assistance in therapy.

Volition-adaptive control for gait training using wearable exoskeleton: preliminary tests with incomplete spinal cord injury individuals
Vijaykumar Rajasekaran,Eduardo López-Larraz,Fernando Trincado-Alonso,Joan Aranda,Luis Montesano,Antonio J. del-Ama,Jose L Pons +6 more
TL;DR: This study demonstrates that user specific adaptive control can be applied on a wearable robot based on the human-orthosis interaction torques and modifying the joints’ impedance properties.
A New Relational Geometric Feature for Human Action Recognition
Manuel Vinagre,Joan Aranda,Alicia Casals +2 more
- 01 Jan 2015
TL;DR: A new geometric correspondence between joints called Trisarea feature is presented, defined as the area of the triangle formed by three joints, which is shown how the variation over time of the selected Tris area features constitutes a descriptor of human action.
