Locomotion Training

We are developing robotic devices for locomotion training after spinal cord injury. In this paper, we compare two approaches to controlling and quantifying bipedal stepping of spinal rats with robots. In the first approach, the rats stepped on a physical treadmill with robot arms attached to their lower shanks. In the second, the rats stepped on a virtual treadmill generated by the robots. The rats could step on the virtual treadmill, but stepping was more consistent, step height greater, and interlimb coordination improved on the physical treadmill. Implications for the role of sensory input in the control of locomotion and the design robotic of step trainers are discussed.
