Abstract
This
paper describes a powered lower-limb orthosis that is intended to
provide gait assistance to spinal cord injured (SCI) individuals by
providing assistive torques at both hip and knee joints, along with a
user interface and control structure that enables control of the powered
orthosis via upper-body influence. The orthosis and control structure
was experimentally implemented on a paraplegic subject (T10 complete) in
order to provide a preliminary characterization of its capability to
provide basic walking. Data and video is presented from these initial
trials, which indicates that the orthosis and controller are able to
effectively provide walking within parallel bars at an average speed of
0.8 km/hr.
