This paper presents a survey of existing robotic systems for lower‐limb rehabilitation. It is a
general assumption that robotics will play an important role in therapy activities within …

Gait abnormalities following neurological disorders are often disabling, negatively affecting
patients' quality of life. Therefore, regaining of walking is considered one of the primary …

Owing to the recent progress in the field of supportive robotic technologies, interest in the
area of active orthoses and exoskeletons has increased rapidly. The first attempts to create …

In this paper, we study the human locomotor adaptation to the action of a powered
exoskeleton providing assistive torque at the user's hip during walking. To this end, we …

The human ankle joint plays a critical role during walking and understanding the
biomechanical factors that govern ankle behavior and provides fundamental insight into …

In human locomotion, we continuously modulate joint mechanical impedance of the lower
limb (hip, knee, and ankle) either voluntarily or reflexively to accommodate environmental …

Background Stroke is the most common cause of disability in the developed world and can
severely degrade walking function. Robot-driven gait therapy can provide assistance to …

Objectives Geriatric clinical care is a multidisciplinary assessment designed to evaluate
older patients'(age 65 years and above) functional ability, physical health, and cognitive well …

Regaining one's ability to walk is of great importance for neurological patients and is a major
goal of all rehabilitation programs. Gait training of severely affected patients after the …

Background Robot-assisted ankle-foot-orthosis (AFO) can provide immediate powered
ankle assistance in post-stroke gait training. Our research team has developed a novel …
