Interactive Exoskeleton Robot for Walking - Ankle Joint

"Stroke patients will enrol in a 20-session gait training program for at least two sessions per week. In each session, the stroke patient will walk overground continuously for 2 \* 10 minutes and walk up/down a staircase (about 10 steps per flight) for 10 minutes, rest will be provided in between each round of walking or stair climbing. This training can promote gait recovery and physical fitness.~They will wear the Ankle Robot during the gait training. The motor will synchronise with the paretic-side gait pattern to provide dorsiflexion moment during swing phase, and free the ankle joint when the sole is loaded."
