Background In the past decade, there has been substantial progress in the development of
robotic controllers that specify how lower-limb exoskeletons should interact with brain …

Lower-limb robotic exoskeletons have become powerful tools to assist or rehabilitate the gait
of subjects with impaired walking, even when they are designed to act only partially over the …

Background Individuals requiring greater physical assistance to practice walking complete
fewer steps in physical therapy during subacute stroke rehabilitation. Powered exoskeletons …

Objective: Gait deficit after multiple sclerosis (MS) can be characterized by altered muscle
activation patterns. There is preliminary evidence of improved walking with a lower limb …

Genu recurvatum (knee hyperextension) is a common problem after stroke. It is important to
promote the coordination between knee and ankle movements during gait; however, no …

The human motor system is a complex neuro-musculo sensory system that needs further
investigations of neuro-muscular commands and sensory-motor coupling to decode …

According to the modular hypothesis for the control of movement, muscles are recruited in
synergies, which capture muscle coordination in space, time, or both. In the last two …

Acquired brain injury (ABI) is a leading cause of ambulation deficits in the United States
every year. ABI (stroke, traumatic brain injury and cerebral palsy) results in ambulation …

Active exoskeletons are promising devices for improving rehabilitation procedures in
patients and preventing musculoskeletal disorders in workers. In particular, exoskeletons …

Lower limb exoskeletons and exosuits (“exos”) are traditionally designed with a strong focus
on mechatronics and actuation, whereas the “human side” is often disregarded or minimally …
