A Rigid-Flexible Integrated Ankle Dorsiflexion Exoskeleton for Gait Assistance: Design, Control, and Characterization
The ankle joint is the core hub of human walking and bears the gait load. Its flexibility and stability are crucial to balance walking efficiency, and damage prevention. Insufficient dorsiflexion torque can significantly reduce walking efficiency and stability. Therefore, this paper designs an ankle exoskeleton to assi...
