A Lower Limb Powered Orthosis for Improved Rehabilitation Training
Physical training is often needed for patients to relearn how to walk after a stroke, or other neurological damage. However, the frequency and availability of physical training are limited by finite medical resources: most lower-limb rehabilitation orthoses are stationary and only available in a limited number of clinical settings, due to their large...

Virtual Body-Weight Support via Lower-Limb Exoskeleton
Summary:This is a novel control system for powered lower-limb exoskeletons (or orthoses) that provides body-weight support (BWS) for people who have sustained a stroke and other neurological injury. Patients are provided with BWS during conventional gait retraining to help them produce the coordinated muscle activities needed for walking. Although current...
