Leg Exoskeleton for Multiple Sclerosis Walking Assistance
Leg Exoskeleton for Multiple Sclerosis Walking Assistance
Currently, most walking assistance devices for those with limited leg strength/mobility provide full-propulsion, which replaces the use of remaining muscle in the leg and can lead to muscle degeneration. The goal of this project is to create a device to help the user walk across flat ground, without replacing use of their own muscles. This project has the potential to improve our client’s quality of life and could advance the technology of walking devices for a range of disabilities/conditions.
