“…6(f)) developed by Cyberdyne company. 106,107 The weight of Hal is 23 kg, and the lower limb power device is located in the hip joint, knee joint and ankle joint, without auxiliary support, and can last for 160 min. HAL has the mode of biological consciousness control system, which calculates the bio potential signal and joint torque of lower limbs generated by human motion collected by sensors, judges the wearer's motion intention, and controls the exoskeleton movement; meanwhile, it has the mode of independent control system, which uses the action model stored in…”

SUMMARY It was reported that about 10% of people suffer from painful knee arthritis, and a quarter of them were severely disabled. The core activities of daily living were severely limited by knee osteoarthritis (KOA). In order to reduce knee pain and prolong the life of the knee joint, there has been an increasing demand on the development of exoskeletons, for prevention and treatment. The course of KOA was closely related to the biomechanics of knee joint, and the pathogenesis was summarized based on the biomechanics of knee joint. For the prevention and clinical treatment, exoskeletons are classified into three categories: prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation after the operation. Furthermore, the design concepts, actuators, sensors, control strategies, and evaluation criteria were presented. Finally, the shortcomings and limitations were summarized. It is useful for researchers to develop suitable exoskeletons in the future.

“…However, the training devices currently in use, such as canes [7], crutches [8], parallel bars, and walkers [9], allow only a few basic motions and training primarily conducted at hospitals under the guidance of therapists. Wearable exoskeletons have been attracting interest as training systems because they offer a number of potential advantages, such as allowing the user to traverse irregular surfaces [10,11]. Because this kind of rehabilitation device surrounds the whole leg, its motion naturally follows that of the subject [12].…”

In order to avoid being bedridden, a preemptive walking rehabilitation is essential for people who lose their walking ability because of illness or accidents. In a previous study, we developed an omnidirectional walking training robot (WTR), the effectiveness of which in rehabilitation was validated by clinical testing. In the primary stage of the walking training, the WTR guides the user to follow the predesigned therapy program to conduct the walking training. This study focuses on the later stages of training in which the user plays an active role of determining the training by himself/herself, and the WTR must follow the user's intent. However, identifying a user's intent is challenging. In the present study, we address this problem by introducing a directionalintent identification method based on a distance-type fuzzy reasoning algorithm. The effectiveness of the directional identification method is experimentally confirmed.
