Robotic Orthosis Lokomat: A Rehabilitation and Research Tool
Abstract
The aim of this article is to introduce the robotic orthosis Lokomat, developed to automate treadmill training rehabilitation of locomotion for spinal cord injured and stroke patients, to the Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) and Neuromodulation research communities, and to report on our newly conducted research. We first illustrate the primary use of Lokomat in rehabilitation and focus on control aspects and algorithms associated with robotic rehabilitation of locomotion. Then we describe two applications where the Lokomat was used as a research tool. The first application is closed-loop control of the FES-induced shank movement and the second is the development of a neural network model of the spinal locomotor centers. This model was used to derive a neural locomotion controller for the Lokomat.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
