ABSTRACT Introduction Foot Drop (FD) is a condition, which is very commonly found in post-
stoke patients; however it can also be seen in patients with multiple sclerosis, and cerebral …

Powered ankle exoskeletons (PAEs) are robotic devices developed for gait assistance,
rehabilitation, and augmentation. To fulfil their purposes, PAEs vastly rely heavily on their …

Due to the recent rise in the use of lower-limb exoskeletons as an alternative for gait
rehabilitation, gait phase detection has become an increasingly important feature in the …

Foot drop is the inability to dorsiflex the ankle (raise the toes) due to neuromuscular
impairment, and this common condition can cause trips and falls. Current treatments for …
