Exoskeletons, orthoses, exosuits, assisting robots and such devices referred to as wearable
assistive devices are devices designed to augment or protect the human body by applying …

Wearable robotic devices can restore and enhance mobility. There is growing interest in
designing devices that reduce the metabolic cost of walking; however, designers lack …

Researchers have explored a variety of neurorehabilitation approaches to restore normal
walking function following a stroke. However, there is currently no objective means for …

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 …

Robotic systems for rehabilitation of movement disorders and motion assistance are gaining
increased attention. Robust classification of motion data as well as reliable recognition of the …

Background Currently, control of exoskeletons in rehabilitation focuses on imposing desired
trajectories to promote relearning of motions. Furthermore, assistance is often provided by …

Gait deficits in cerebral palsy (CP) are often treated with a single-event multi-level surgery
(SEMLS). Selecting the treatment options (combination of bony and soft tissue corrections) …

Mobility impairments can prevent older adults from performing their daily activities, which
highly impacts quality of life. Powered exoskeletons, which are wearable robotic devices …

Patients who suffer from foot drop have impaired gait pattern functions and a higher risk of
stumbling and falling. Therefore, they are usually treated with an assistive device, a so …

Predicting an individual's response to an exoskeleton and understanding what data are
needed to characterize responses remains challenging. Specifically, we lack a theoretical …
