世纪以来，技术人员和科学家积极寻求设计用于增强人类经济、力量和耐力的外骨骼和矫形器的发展。虽然仍有许多与外骨骼和矫形器设计相关的挑战尚未完善，但该领域的进展确实令人印象深刻。在这篇评论中，我首先将外骨骼和矫形器分为与人体肢体串联和并联的设备，并在每个类别中提供一些例子。这种分类之后，主要的设计挑战和未来的研究方向的关键外骨骼和矫形器领域的讨论。
For over a century, technologists and scientists have actively sought the development of exoskeletons and orthoses designed to augment human economy, strength, and endurance. While there are still many challenges associated with exoskeletal and orthotic design that have yet to be perfected, the advances in the field have been truly impressive. In this commentary, I first classify exoskeletons and orthoses into devices that act in series and in parallel to a human limb, providing a few examples within each category. This classification is then followed by a discussion of major design challenges and future research directions critical to the field of exoskeletons and orthoses.
