Exoskeletons can augment the performance of unimpaired users and restore movement in
individuals with gait impairments. Knowledge of how users interact with wearable devices …

Background Many lower-limb exoskeletons have been developed to assist gait, exhibiting a
large range of control methods. The goal of this paper is to review and classify these control …

Gait disorders can reduce the quality of life for people with neuromuscular impairments.
Therefore, walking recovery is one of the main priorities for counteracting sedentary lifestyle …

Soft structures are capable of undergoing reversible large strains and deformations when
facing different types of loadings. Due to the limitations of linear elastic models, researchers …

Recent technologic advancements have enabled the creation of portable, low-cost, and
unobtrusive sensors with tremendous potential to alter the clinical practice of rehabilitation …

Background Atypical walking in the months and years after stroke constrain community
reintegration and reduce mobility, health, and quality of life. The ReWalk ReStore™ is a soft …

We propose a soft robotic ankle-foot-orthosis for poststroke patients, which is inexpensive,
lightweight, easy to wear, and capable of gait assistance for rehabilitation not only in the …

Lower extremity robotic exoskeletons (LEEX) can not only improve the ability of the human
body but also provide healing treatment for people with lower extremity dysfunction. There …

In recent years, more and more research has begun to focus on the flexible and lightweight
design of wearable robots. During this process, many novel concepts and achievements …

Background Soft exosuits are a recent approach for assisting human locomotion, which
apply assistive torques to the wearer through functional apparel. Over the past few years …
