Human-centered Robotics Applied To Gait Training And Assessm

We reviewed human-centered strategies that enable robots to behave in a patient-cooperative way and support motor-function assessment. We then applied those principles to treadmill gait training, for example, through the use of motion controllers, biofeedback, and automated assessment functions.

Rehabilitation robots that behave in a human-centered way can maximize patients' therapeutic outcomes.

Promising methods from the literature and our research show that rehabilitation robots can (1) account for patients' intentions, efforts, and musculoskeletal properties and (2) automatically assess the patients' motor performance. Human-centered rehabilitation robots can make future gait therapy easier, more comfortable, and more efficient.
