An analysis of human–machine interaction to a lower extremity exoskeleton

Abstract

Lower extremity exoskeleton is to support the body of human and strengthen its users exercise ability. In recent years, the safety, the comfort, and efficiency to the lower extremity exoskeleton become an issue of increasing concern. In order to form a better view of the evaluation of the human exoskeleton system, not only the clinical data but also the analysis of the human gait is needed. In this paper, we give a more complete evaluation of the AIDER (AssIstive, DEvice for paRaplegic patient) exoskeleton based on the human gait analysis and the subjective questionnaires.
