Article Synopsis
- This study focuses on creating a body weight support gait training system designed for patients with stroke and spinal cord injuries, utilizing a powered orthosis and body weight support equipment.
- The powered orthosis uses pneumatic McKibben actuators, mimicking human muscle movements, and can be customized for different body sizes.
- The system includes features to support body weight and limit movement to the sagittal plane, with experiments conducted to evaluate its mechanics and effectiveness in aiding gait training.
