A Method for the Autonomous Control of Lower Limb Exoskeletons for Persons With Paraplegia
Open accessAbstract
Efforts have recently been reported by several research groups on the development of computer-controlled lower limb orthoses to enable legged locomotion in persons with paraplegia. Such systems must employ a control framework that provides essential movements to the paraplegic user (i.e., sitting, standing, and walking), and ideally enable the user to autonomously command these various movements in a safe, reliable, and intuitive manner. This paper describes a control method that enables a paraplegic user to perform sitting, standing, and walking movements, which are commanded based on postural information measured by the device. The proposed user interface and control structure was implemented on a powered lower limb orthosis, and the system was tested on a paraplegic subject with a T10 complete injury. Experimental data is presented that indicates the ability of the proposed control architecture to provide appropriate user-initiated control of sitting, standing, and walking. The authors also provide a link to a video that qualitatively demonstrates the user's ability to independently control basic movements via the proposed control method.

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.
