An Adaptable Human-Like Gait Pattern Generator Derived From a Lower Limb Exoskeleton.

ABSTRACT: Walking rehabilitation processes include many repetitions of the same physical movements in order to replicate, as close as possible, the normal gait trajectories, and kinematics of all leg joints. In these conventional therapies, the therapist's ability to discover patient's limitations-and gradually reduce them-is key to the success of the therapy. Lower-limb robotic exoskeletons have strong deficiencies in this respect as compared to an experienced therapist. Most of the currently available robotic solutions are not able to properly adapt their trajectories to the biomechanical limitations of the patient. With this in mind, much research and development is still required in order to improve artificial human-like walking patterns sufficiently for valuable clinical use. The work herein re
