Development of a Real-time Controller to Estimate Walking Performance Using a Bilateral Ankle Exoskeleton (NCT07393971)
Controller Development to Enable Individualized Assistance in Robotic Ankle Exoskeletons
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This study is developing and testing a new controller for a robotic ankle exoskeleton (Biomotum) that can adjust itself in real time to better support people while they walk. The system learns how each person moves and automatically changes the amount and timing of assistance to make walking feel easier and more efficient. By using information from the person wearing the device, the exoskeleton can quickly find the level of support that works best for them. The long-term goal is to create personalized walking assistance that can help people with mobility limitations move more comfortably and with less effort.
