Robotic exoskeletons have drawn much attention recently due to their potential ability to help the stroke and spinal cord injury patients to regain the ability of walking. However, the biggest challenge is the balancing of the exoskeleton and how it can balance is still an open question. Most of the time, patients using such exoskeleton devices require sufficient upper body strength to control upright...
In order to identify optimal rehabilitation strategies for spinal cord injury (SCI) participants, assessment of impaired walking is required to detect, monitor and quantify movement disorders. In the proposed assessment, ten healthy and seven SCI participants were recruited to perform an over-ground walking test at slow walking speeds. SCI participants were given assistance from physiotherapists,...
In order to evaluate the effectiveness of a robotic trainer, NaTUre-gaits (Natural and TUneable rehabilitation gait system), four healthy and one spinal cord injury (SCI) subjects have participated in the walking experiment. The comparison between robotic-assisted overground walking with ground contact and totally robotic-assisted walking without ground contact is conducted via EMG analysis. Furthermore,...
Therapist assisted body weight supported gait rehabilitation was introduced about 20 years ago. Subsequently, several robotic systems have been introduced for assisted body weight supported gait rehabilitation. However, pelvic assistance is not commonly found in those robotic systems. Lacking of pelvic assistance has several disadvantages. The most obvious disadvantage is the inability to promote...

Due to the labor-intensiveness and the shortage of therapists in the application of most forms of manually assisted gait training in neuro-rehabilitation, robotics rehabilitation gait systems have been developed to contribute in such fields of neuro-rehabilitation. This paper presents an overground gait rehabilitation robot, which consists of a pair of robotic orthosis (RO) connected to pelvic arm...
A body-weight support locomotion training (BWSLT) device has been developed for the lower limb rehabilitation. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of the device, seven healthy subjects have participated the walking experiments. The experiments include the walking along a floor mat and the walking with the assistance of the device. On the other hand, experiments have been conducted on one spinal...
