The objective of this research is to develop a powered lower limb orthosis for pediatric use. Specific technologies under development include: novel high torque density actuation mechanism, widely adjustable mechanical brace, embedded electronics for system dynamics, and cooperative control for pediatric wearable robot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Example of the recent successful commercial application of powered orthosis, incorporating actuators and control, and associated power supply to assist with locomotion is a Parker Hannifin’s Indego system.<\/p>\n\n\n
