Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Because the exoskeletal control mechanisms were built from off-the-shelf components, weight and cosmesis specifications for clinical use have not been met, although the power requirements are low enough to provide more than 4 hours of continuous operation with standard camcorder batteries.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prefrontal, posterior parietal and sensorimotor network activity underlying speed control during walking
TL;DR: Low γ band power, localized to the prefrontal and posterior parietal cortices, was significantly increased during double support and early swing phases, critical points in the gait cycle since the active controller adjusted speed based on pelvis position and swing foot velocity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sitting and standing intention can be decoded from scalp EEG recorded prior to movement execution
TL;DR: The results suggest that EEG-based classifiers could improve lower-limb neuroprostheses and neurorehabilitation techniques by providing earlier detection of movement intent, which could be used in robot-assisted strategies for motor training and recovery of function.
Journal ArticleDOI
A lower-extremity exoskeleton improves knee extension in children with crouch gait from cerebral palsy.
TL;DR: Evidence is provided supporting the use of wearable exoskeletons as a treatment strategy to improve walking in children with CP by showing that the exoskeleton reduced crouch in a cohort of ambulatory children withCP during overground walking.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Robotic Exoskeleton for Treatment of Crouch Gait in Children With Cerebral Palsy: Design and Initial Application
TL;DR: The design of and first results from a powered exoskeleton for extension assistance as a treatment for crouch gait in children with cerebral palsy are presented, establishing the initial feasibility of robotic exoskeletons for treatment of crouch.
