What are some examples of soft robotic exosuits used in rehabilitation therapy for assisting patients with mobility impairments or gait disorders, and how do they provide powered assistance and gait correction to enhance walking ability, balance control, or muscle strength during gait training or activities of daily living?
What are some examples of soft robotic exosuits used in rehabilitation therapy for assisting patients with mobility impairments or gait disorders, and how do they provide powered assistance and gait correction to enhance walking ability, balance control, or muscle strength during gait training or activities of daily living?
Examples include soft wearable exosuits, textile-based actuators, and pneumatic muscle systems integrated into wearable garments or orthoses for lower limb assistance. These exosuits apply assistive forces, provide joint support, and synchronize movements with user intent to facilitate gait rehabilitation, improve walking efficiency, and restore mobility for individuals with neurological conditions or musculoskeletal disorders in clinical or home settings.
