Context 1
... mobile medical exoskeleton should provide enough external joint torque to compensate for the lack of force in the lower body joints. The first device is Ekso, designed and commercialized by Ekso Bionics, see Figure 2. The robot is intended for people with lower extremity weakness or paralysis due to neurolo- gical disease or injury (spinal cord injuries, multiple sclero- sis, Guillain Barrè syndrome). ...
Context 2
... in 2001 Argo Medical Technologies (Israel) has developed a robotic ambulation system for wheelchair users named ReWalk (see Figure 2). ReWalk is a wearable robotic device which helps paralyzed people walking. ...
Context 3
... (Figure 2), produced by Parker, is the commercial version of Vanderbilt powered orthosis (Farris et al., 2011); it is a powered lower-limb orthosis that is intended to provide gait assistance to spinal cord injured (SCI) individuals by pro- viding assistive torques in the sagittal plane at both hip and knee joints. With respect to Ekso and ReWalk, it neither in- cludes a portion that is worn over the shoulders, nor a portion that is worn under the shoes. ...
Context 4
... from the previous devices, REX, produced by REX Bionics (Auckland, New Zealand), is an anthropo- morphic lower body orthosis designed for sit-to-stand, stair ascend and overground walking, without the use of crutches (see Figure 2). The system does not use sensors to estimate the motor intention of the user, who can control the robot by acting on a joystick. ...
