Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation. 2014 Mar;11()27.
Robotic and functional electrical stimulation (FES) approaches are used for rehabilitation of walking impairment of spinal cord injured individuals. Although devices are commercially available, there are still issues that remain to be solved. Control of hybrid exoskeletons aims at blending robotic e

The physiological cost index of walking with mechanical and powered gait orthosis in patients with spinal cord injury.

Arazpour M, Bani MA, Hutchins SW, Jones RK.
Spinal cord. 2013 May;51(5)356-9.
Mechanical orthoses, such as the hip knee ankle foot orthosis (HKAFO) and the isocentric reciprocating gait orthosis (IRGO), are both used for walking in spinal cord injury (SCI) patients. The aim of this study was to analyze the energy expenditure during walking with these orthoses compared with a

Static and dynamic evaluation of the influence of supplementary hip-joint stiffness on crutch-supported paraplegic stance.

van der Spek JH, Veltink PH, Hermens HJ, Koopman BF, Boom HB.
IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. 2003 Dec;11(4)452-62.
Paraplegic persons can stand with hip-knee-ankle-foot orthoses (HKAFO) and crutches. However, current HKAFOs restrict body movement extensively, which may impede functional upper-body movements. A more compliant body support using a more compliant orthosis or well-controlled functional electrical st
