High-gain observer-based nonlinear control scheme for biomechanical sit to stand movement in the presence of sensory feedback delays.

Sit-to-stand movement (STS) is a mundane activity, controlled by the central-nervous-system (CNS) via a complex neurophysiological mechanism that involves coordination of limbs for successful execution. Detailed analysis and accurate simulations of STS task have significant importance in clinical in...
