Bio-Inspired Lower-Limb 'Wearing Robotic Exoskeleton' for Human Gait Rehab

Tuesday, October 25, 2016 - 11:01 in Mathematics & Economics

Wearable "robot-assisted training" is quickly emerging as a method that helps improve gait rehabilitation. In a major advance, researchers from Beihang University in China and Aalborg University in Denmark have designed a lower-limb robot exoskeleton -- a wearable robot -- that features natural knee movement to greatly improve patients' comfort and willingness to wear it for gait rehab. They describe their work in this week's Review of Scientific Instruments.
