Abstract

Estimation of low-back load can be used to determine the assistance to be provided by an actuated back-support exoskeleton. To this end, an EMG-driven muscle model and a regression model can be implemented. The goal of the regression model is to reduce the number of required sensors for load estimation. Both models need to be calibrated. This study aims to find the impacts of limiting calibration data on low-back loading estimation through these models. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
