Articulated legs enable the selection of robot gaits, including walking in different directions such as forward or sideways. For longer distances, the best gaits might maximize velocity or minimize the cost of transport (COT). While animals often hav...
BACKGROUND: Patients suffering from lower limb dyskinesia, especially in early stages of rehabilitation, have weak residual muscle strength in affected limb and require passive training by the lower limb rehabilitation robot. Anatomy indicates that t...
Many neurological and musculoskeletal disorders are associated with problems related to postural movement. Noninvasive tracking devices are used to record, analyze, measure, and detect the postural control of the body, which may indicate health probl...

OBJECTIVE: Accurate real-time estimation of motion intent is critical for rendering useful assistance using wearable robotic prosthetic and exoskeleton devices during user-initiated motions. We aim to evaluate hierarchical classification as a strateg...
Forecasted gait trajectories of children could be used as feedforward input to control lower limb robotic devices, such as exoskeletons and actuated orthotic devices (e.g., Powered Ankle Foot Orthosis-PAFO). Several studies have forecasted healthy ga...

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to explore the rehabilitation experiences and perceptions of patients with neurological disorders who have used the Lokomat Augmented Feedback module, a robot-assisted gait training device.
In this work, we present the overground prototype gait-rehabilitation robot for using motion assistance and training for paralyzed patients. In contrast to the existing gait-rehabilitation robots, which focus on the sagittal plane motion of the hip a...
