There is increasing interest in using robotic devices to assist in movement training following
neurologic injuries such as stroke and spinal cord injury. This paper reviews control …

The rehabilitation engineering community is working towards the development of robotic
devices that can assist during gait training of patients suffering from neurologic injuries such …

Gait rehabilitation robots are of increasing importance in neurorehabilitation. Conventional
devices are often criticized because they are limited to reproducing predefined movement …

Intervention of robotic devices in the field of physical gait therapy can help in providing
repetitive, systematic, and economically viable training sessions. Interactive or assist-as …

This paper presents a control approach for a lower-limb exoskeleton intended to facilitate
recovery of walking in individuals with lower-extremity hemiparesis after stroke. The authors …

Background Manual body weight supported treadmill training and robot-aided treadmill
training are frequently used techniques for the gait rehabilitation of individuals after stroke …

Exoskeleton robots can assist humans to perform activities of daily living with little effort. In
this paper, a hierarchical control scheme is presented which enables an exoskeleton robot …

This paper presents a 6-DOF gait rehabilitation robot that allows patients to update their
walking velocity on various terrain types and navigate in virtual environments (VEs) through …

Background Robot-assisted gait therapy is increasingly being used in pediatric
neurorehabilitation to complement conventional physical therapy. The robotic device …

“Assist as needed” control algorithms promote activity of patients during robotic gait training.
Implementing these requires a free walking mode of a device, as unassisted motions should …
