Dec 22, 2022 · Exoskeletons can augment the performance of unimpaired users and restore movement in individuals with gait impairments.
Exoskeletons can augment the performance of unimpaired users and restore movement in individuals with gait impairments. Knowledge of how users interact with wearable devices and of the physiology of locomotion have informed the design of rigid and soft exoskeletons that can specifically target a single joint or a single activity. In this Review, we highlight the main advances of the past two decades in exoskeleton technology and in the development of lower-extremity exoskeletons for locomotor assistance, discuss research needs for such wearable robots and the clinical requirements for exoskeleton-assisted gait rehabilitation, and outline the main clinical challenges and opportunities for exoskeleton technology. This Review highlights technological advances in exoskeleton technology from the past two decades, and challenges and opportunities in the exoskeleton-assisted rehabilitation of gait.

Collaborative robots are used in rehabilitation and are designed to interact with the client so as to provide the ability to assist walking therapeutically. One such device is the KineAssist which was designed to interact, either in a self-driven mode (SDM) or in an assist mode (AM), with neurologically-impaired individuals while they are walking on a treadmill surface. To understand the level of transparency (i.e., interference with movement due to the mechanical interface) between human and robot, and to estimate and account for changes in the kinetics and kinematics of the gait pattern, we tested the KineAssist under conditions of self-drive and horizontal push assistance. The aims of this study were to compare the joint kinematics, forces and moments during walking at a fixed constant treadmill belt speed and constrained walking cadence, with and without the robotic device (OUT) and to compare the biomechanics of assistive and self-drive modes in the device. Twenty non-neurologically impaired adults participated in this study. We evaluated biomechanical parameters of walking at a fixed constant treadmill belt speed (1.0 m/s), with and without the robotic device in assistive mode. We also tested the self-drive condition, which enables the user to drive the speed and direction of a treadmill belt. Hip, knee and ankle angular displacements, ground reaction forces, hip, knee and ankle moments, and center of mass displacement were compared “in” vs “out” of the device...
