混合神经假体（HNP）是一种液压驱动的外骨骼和植入式功能性电刺激（FES）系统，其设计和制造用于恢复脊髓损伤患者的步态。外骨骼本身不提供任何有功功率，而是依赖于植入的FES系统来提供所有有功电机扭矩。外骨骼反而在步态的安静站立和站立阶段期间提供支撑以及对刺激系统的感觉反馈。三名植入功能性电刺激系统的患者使用该系统成功进行短距离行走，但刺激系统可提供的屈曲扭矩有限。
The Hybrid Neuroprosthesis (HNP) is a hydraulically actuated exoskeleton and implanted Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) system that has been designed and fabricated to restore gait to people with spinal cord injuries. The exoskeleton itself does not supply any active power, instead relying on an implanted FES system for all active motor torques. The exoskeleton instead provides support during quiet standing and stance phases of gait as well as sensory feedback to the stimulation system. Three individuals with implanted functional electrical stimulation systems have used the system to successfully walk short distances, but were limited in the flexion torques the stimulation system could provide.
