Abstract
In this paper we present the first clinical application of a newly developed control method for wearable lower limbs exoskeleton robots. The method we developed is one based on using body joint synergetic effect, with a walking aid cane, to estimate and provide assist on the affected limb(s). The outcome of hemiplegic persons walking with the system shows the subjects immediately being able to walk with the system, and improvements in some gait aspects. This investigation exhibits the clinical applicability of the proposed method, and prospective gait function improvements of using the system. The finding contributes to the technology for cognitively assisted locomotion, which helps the locomotion of physically challenged people.
