Abstract:Lower limb exoskeletons are gaining prevalence to augment mobility of
people with gait impairments. However, current exoskeletons using serial
elastic actuators do not have the torque and bandwidth capabilities to
assist in balance control in daily activities. Considering the critical
role of mediolateral stability in balance control of individuals
affected by neurological and age-related gait impairments, we propose an
abduction-adduction exoskeleton for mediolateral assistance. The
exoskeleton utilizes harmo… Show more
