Abstract Background Ankle-foot orthoses (AFOs) are commonly prescribed to provide ankle
support during walking. Current prescription standards provide general guidelines for …

Knee dysfunction, such as knee osteoarthritis, meniscus injury, ligament injury, spinal cord
injury and stroke, considerably impacts the normal living ability and mental health of these …

Objective To describe systematic reviews (SRs) of the use of exoskeletons for gait and
mobility by persons with neurologic disorders and to evaluate their quality as guidance for …

Most commercial ankle-foot orthoses (AFOs) are passive structures that cannot modulate
stiffness to assist with a diverse range of activities, such as stairs and ramps. It is sometimes …

Damage to a part of the spinal cord or nerves at the ends of the spinal canal causes spinal
cord injuries which affect the individual to perform their normal functioning. The spinal cord …

In this study, we focused on the design and control of a single DoF laterally supported knee
exoskeleton robot designed to improve the load-carrying and strength capacity of healthy …

Challenges with community mobility are among the most prevalent disabilities worldwide,
yet the current standard of care-passive orthotics-have remained largely unchanged for …

This chapter describes the principles that underlie the performance criteria for a particular
exoskeleton technology when it is implemented as an assistive technology for mobility or …

One of the main problems in studies involving exoskeletons for assisting gait of Spinal Cord
Injury (SCI) users is recruitment of a suitable number of subjects, especially when age …

Walking is a locomotor task that integrates information from all over the nervous system. The
lumbosacral spinal cord houses neural networks that contribute to locomotion. These …
