Background Many lower-limb exoskeletons have been developed to assist gait, exhibiting a
large range of control methods. The goal of this paper is to review and classify these control …

Research on robotic exoskeletons has rapidly expanded over the previous decade.
Advances in robotic hardware and energy supplies have enabled viable prototypes for …

We introduce a novel dataset containing 3-dimensional biomechanical and wearable sensor
data from 22 able-bodied adults for multiple locomotion modes (level-ground/treadmill …

Extracting muscle synergies from surface electromyographic signals (sEMGs) during
exercises has been widely applied to evaluate motor control strategies. This study explores …

Benchmarks have long been used to verify and compare the readiness level of different
technologies in many application domains. In the field of wearable robots, the lack of a …

Starting from the early research in the 1960s, especially in the last two decades, orthoses
and exoskeletons have been significantly developed. They are designed in different …

The basic routine movements for elderly people are not easily accessible due to the weak
muscles and impaired nerves in their lower extremity. In the last few years, many robotic …

Powered exoskeletons can empower paraplegics to stand and walk. Actively controlled hip
ab/adduction (HAA) is needed for weight shift and for lateral foot placement to support …

Electromyography (EMG) is sensitive to neuromuscular changes resulting from ischemic
stroke and is considered a potential predictive tool of post-stroke gait and rehabilitation …

Background Spinal cord injury (SCI) is characterized by a total or partial deficit of sensory
and motor pathways. Impairments of this injury compromise muscle recruitment and motor …
