A new compact mobile lower limb robotic exoskeleton (MLLRE) has been developed for gait rehabilitation for neurologically impaired patients. This robotic exoskeleton is composed of two exoskeletal orthoses, an active body weight support (BWS) system attached to a motorized mobile base, allowing over-ground walking. The exoskeletal orthosis is optimized to implement the extension and flexion of human hip and knee joints in the sagittal plane. The motor-driven BWS system can actively unload human body weight and track the vertical displacement of the center of mass (COM). This system is compact and easy for therapist to help patient with different weight (up to 100 kg) and height (150–190 cm). Experiments were conducted to evaluate the performance of the robot with a healthy subject. The results show that MLLRE is a useful device for patient to achieve normal over-ground gait patterns.

Stroke is one of the leading causes of physical disability and many suffer paralysis to their limbs. The rehabilitation to recover the function of gait often takes time because the current rehabilitation technique used is labour intensive and time consuming for the therapists and difficult to perform it effectively. In order to improve the gait rehabilitation process, robot assisted gait rehabilitation has gained much interest over the past years. The contributions of this research are the development of new robotic exoskeleton device designed to be lightweight, comfortable, and safe to use for gait rehabilitation for stroke patients, which were lacking in the existing devices. Another contribution is the establishment of new manufacturing technique that allows custom exoskeleton components for each individual patient. Finally, the development of advanced model-based Feedforward (FF) controller that achieves fast and accurate tracking performance is explored in this chapter.

Abstract. A growing body of research demonstrates an association between gait disorders, falls, and attentional capacities in older adults. The present work empirically analyzes differences in gait parameters in frail institutionalized older adults as a function of selective attention. Gait analysis under single- and dual-task conditions as well as selective attention measures were collected from a total of 33 nursing-home residents. We found that differences in selective attention performances were related to the investigated gait parameters. Poorer selective attention performances were associated with higher stride-to-stride variabilities and a slowing of gait speed under dual-task conditions. The present findings suggest a contribution of selective attention to a safe gait. Implications for gait rehabilitation programs are discussed.
