Development and valorisation of in vitro devices for orthopedic research and training KU Leuven
We try to develop a simulator that offers even more possibilities in terms of imitating the human movement (more than just squats and steps, but for example standing up from a chair, climbing a staircase, ...). It concerns a pneumatically driven add-on for the robotic gang simulator that is available at Mobilab.
Development and validation of tools for research and training in orthopaedics KU Leuven
