Hybrid position/force output feedback second-order sliding mode control for a prototype of an active orthosis used in back-assisted mobilization.

This article shows the design of a robust second-order sliding mode controller to solve the trajectory tracking problem of an active orthosis for assisting back physiotherapies. The orthosis was designed in agreement with morphological dimensions and its articulations distribution followed the same...
