[23] | EIKPE applied to single 1-DOF joint movements | (a) Exoskeleton and Human link lengths (b) Exoskeleton joint angles |
(1) Studied angles: elbow and wrist joint angles (2) Reference angles: obtained from marker-based MOCAP (3) Movements: single 1-DOF elbow and wrist joint movements (wearing the Exoskeleton) |
RMSE of elbow and wrist angles |

[21] | Estimation of the arm swivel angle such that the hand is efficiently retracted towards the head region | (a) Shoulder position (b) Initial elbow position (c) Wrist pose (d) Point on the head region that minimizes the estimation errors |
(1) Studied angles: arm swivel angle (2) Reference angles: obtained from redundant marker-based MOCAP (3) Movements: compound movements of (a) object reaching and (b) rotation of a doorknob (not wearing the Exoskeleton) |
Mean absolute error of the arm swivel angle |

This paper | EIKPE applied to compound movements (multi-DOF and multi-joint) | Same as [23] | (1) Studied angles: GH and elbow joint angles (2) Reference angles: obtained from redundant marker-based MOCAP (3) Movements: compound movement of object prehension (wearing the Exoskeleton) |
(i) LFM, RMSE, and ROM error of the GH and elbow angle estimations provided by the Exoskeleton and EIKPE (ii) Statistical significance test of the results of RMSE and ROM errors |
