Powered lower-limb exoskeletons are a compelling mechatronic solution for assisted walking, but real-world use depends on more than hardware performance: users must learn how to coordinate their body, the device, and crutches to produce stable, repeatable gait. The image illustrates this human–robot system in practice — an exoskeleton user walking with crutches — highlighting the control and coordination challenge behind “assisted walking.”
In this seminar, I will present a motion-analysis study of 17 healthy participants with no prior exoskeleton experience who trained with the ReWalk Personal 6.0 across repeated sessions.
