Stronger, Smarter, Softer: Next-Generation Wearable Robots (2014, methodology): “Other approaches have been to assist with load carriage by providing a parallel path to the ground, thereby offloading the wearer’s musculature [10]– [12], and some systems also provide gait rehabilitation in conjunction with a treadmill [6], [13], [14].”
Control strategies for active lower extremity prosthetics and orthotics: a review (2015, neutral): “This would exclude treadmill-based gait training orthoses such as the LOPES [19] and the Lokomat (Hocoma AG, Volketswil, Switzerland), which were among the classes of devices discussed in the review of Marchal-Crespo and Reinkensmeyer [20].”
An EMG-Based Control for an Upper-Limb Power-Assist Exoskeleton Robot (2012, background): “For rehabilitation, predefined or designated motion or force is basically generated with impedance controller for the user [15], [25].”
Compliant actuator designs (2009, background): “This field is growing rapidly with many compliant systems: Bowden cables [8], gravity balanced systems [9], ankle devices that use series elastic actuators (SEAs) [10], and robotic tendons [11].”
A biologically inspired soft exosuit for walking assistance (2015, background): “Some exoskeletons are stationary, mounted above treadmills and used to provide gait retraining or rehabilitation for those with disabilities or injuries (Jezernik et al., 2003; Banala et al., 2007; Veneman et al., 2007).”
Compliant actuation of rehabilitation robots (2008, methodology): “We opted for a combination of compliant actuation and impedance control [9], [10], which provides means to minimize undesired interaction torques.”
Lower-Limb Robotic Rehabilitation: Literature Review and Challenges (2011, background): “The gait rehabilitation robot LOPES (LOwer-extremity Powered ExoSkeleton) can move in parallel with the legs of a person walking on a treadmill, at pelvis height flexibly connected to the fixed world [24].”
