Stroke affects one out of every six people on Earth. Approximately 90% of stroke survivors
have some functional disability with mobility being a major impairment, which not only …

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 …

Exoskeletons and active prostheses promise to enhance human mobility, but few have
succeeded. Optimizing device characteristics on the basis of measured human performance …

Starting from the early research in the 1960s, especially in the last two decades, orthoses
and exoskeletons have been significantly developed. They are designed in different …

Robot-assisted rehabilitation and therapy has become more and more frequently used to
help the elderly, disabled patients or movement disorders to perform exercise and training …

Techniques proposed for assisting locomotion with exoskeletons have often included a
combination of active work input and passive torque support, but the physiological effects of …

We asked whether coordinated voluntary movement of the lower limbs could be regained in
an individual having been completely paralyzed (> 4 year) and completely absent of vision …

Background The goal of this study was to test the mechanical performance of a prototype
knee-ankle-foot orthosis (KAFO) powered by artificial pneumatic muscles during human …

Innovative technological advancements in the field of orthotics, such as portable powered
orthotic systems, could create new treatment modalities to improve the functional outcome of …

Aiming to assist stroke patients who suffer from motor dysfunction after stroke and reduce the
stress of physiotherapists, a 3-degree-of-freedom (3DOF) lower limb rehabilitation robot …
