Intelligent Assistive Robots

Part of the book series: Springer Tracts in Advanced Robotics ((STAR,volume 106))

Abstract

Loss of motor and sensory ability is frequently encountered by people with arthritis, stroke, trauma resulting in brain injuries or spinal cord injury (SCI), or other neurological diseases [1]. Walking impairments have an impact on subjects in terms of decreased self-independence and quality of life. Moreover, people with motor disabilities become a great burden on their families and healthcare units [2]. In order to regain normal lower-limb function as much as possible, gait rehabilitation such as locomotion training is commonly employed as therapy.
