Description
ZeroG is a robotic overground harness system mounted to an overhead track which includes a small motor to propel the trolley and harness. The system provides zero drag for the patient/participant enabling realistic motion without added confounders. The harness system due to its unique fall arrest system (velocity or range of movement monitored at 1000Hz) allows a greater variety of movement tasks to be performed safely such as stair ascent/descent, sit to stands, complex terrain (i.e. obstacles) amongst others, meaning neuromechanical/motor control paradigms and theories can be tested beyond normal walking and running. During the performance of any task, ZeroG has the additional capacity to ensure consistent bodyweight support during dynamic movements - this is not available in most other harness systems. ZeroG's final and unique feature is its integrated perturbation system (TRiP), which generates specifically designed and controlled perturbations during movement or balance tasks. TRiP provides the opportunity for extensive investigation of the neuromechanical/motor control of movement and the recovery from system disturbance (e.g. via "preflexes"). This is a key integral function…
