Neurological and age-related pathologies affect human mobility at different levels causing partial or total loss of mobility. Thus, there is an important need to improve the mobility of patients with pathological gait, in a safely and efficiently way.
Currently, the Center for Biomechatronics of the Colombian School of Engineering is developing a project called EksoWalker, which seeks to develop and validate a robotic platform to support patient rehabilitation therapies.
The EksoWalker consists of (1) a robotic walker and (2) an active lower limb exoskeleton, controlled by an interface that will serve as a communication channel between patients and rehabilitation therapies, along with a second interface that will allow safe interaction of the Patient-EksoWalker system and the environment during therapy.
