La escoliosis es una deformación de la columna que, sin tratamiento adecuado, puede causar complicaciones. Su monitoreo suele realizarse con radiografías periódicas, las cuales pueden afectar los tejidos y no evalúan parámetros biomecánicos clave como rigidez y actividad muscular. Para solucionar esta limitación, se propone un método de monitoreo no invasivo basado en un exotraje robótico, que mide asimetrías en la rigidez muscular del torso. El estudio se centra en Escoliosis Idiopática del Adolescente (EIA), debido a su mayor riesgo de progresión. La pregunta de investigación es: ¿Cómo implementar y validar un método para determinar la asimetría de rigidez muscular de los erectores espinales lumbares en pacientes con EIA? El cálculo de rigidez se fundamenta en la ley de Hooke, que requiere conocer fuerza y desplazamiento muscular. Para ello, se diseñan y ensamblan lo...

Exoskeletons have been around since 1890 when a passive device was developed to assist movement. Although the exoskeleton initially focused on the whole body, it has become increasingly focused on a more specific area, which makes rehabilitation work more feasible and, consequently, less costly. Therefore, the purpose of the article is to present a systematic review of trends in the technical area of knee and ankle exoskeletons for rehabilitation purposes. The objective is to provide the interested researcher with a structured matrix that integrates essential components and mechanisms in the development of knee and ankle exoskeletons. As a methodology, specialized databases in biomechanics were used that aided in the collection of research conducted between 2019 and 2022. The filtering process resulted in the selection of 37 investigations. Finally, it was concluded that innovations in e...
