Therefore, for rehabilitation devices without backdrivability, implementation of human-machine synchronization is important and a precondition to perform active training. In this paper, a method to implement this precondition is proposed and applied in a user\u2019s performance of elbow flexions and extensions when he wore an upper limb exoskeleton rehabilitation device (ULERD), which is portable, wearable and non-backdrivable. In this method, an inertia sensor is adapted to detect the motion of the user\u2019s forearm. In order to get a smooth value of the velocity of the user\u2019s forearm, an adaptive weighted average filtering is applied. On the other hand, to obtain accurate tracking performance, a double close-loop control is proposed to realize real-time and stable tracking. Experiments have been conducted to prove that these methods are effective and feasible for active rehabilitation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s121216046","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,11,22]],"date-time":"2012-11-22T11:02:55Z","timestamp":1353582175000},"page":"16046-16059","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":23,"title":["Implementation of Human-Machine Synchronization Control for Active Rehabilitation Using an Inertia Sensor"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Zhibin","family":"Song","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Intelligent Mechanical Systems Engineering, Kagawa University, Hayashi-cho, Takamatsu 761-0369, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shuxiang","family":"Guo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Intelligent Mechanical Systems Engineering, Kagawa University, Hayashi-cho, Takamatsu 761-0369, Japan"},{"name":"Automation College, Harbin Engineering University, 145 Nantong Street, Harbin, Heilongjiang 150001, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nan","family":"Xiao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Intelligent Mechanical Systems Engineering, Kagawa University, Hayashi-cho, Takamatsu 761-0369, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Baofeng","family":"Gao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Intelligent Mechanical Systems Engineering, Kagawa University, Hayashi-cho, Takamatsu 761-0369, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Liwei","family":"Shi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Intelligent Mechanical Systems Engineering, Kagawa University, Hayashi-cho, Takamatsu 761-0369, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,11,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Goldstein, L.
