最近人们对下肢康复的兴趣日益浓厚。新工具可用于改善成人和儿童的步态再训练。然而，由于难以持续监测康复患者的结果，因此仍然很难确定规划干预措施的最佳方法。在本文中，我们介绍了力场适应范式的扩展，用于定量评估上肢运动适应到下肢的能力。该算法在 Lokomat 下肢步态矫形器上实施，用于评估短期运动适应。了解健康成年人的运动系统如何适应外部扰动对于理解步态所涉及的适应机制如何因疾病而改变非常重要。
Lower extremity rehabilitation has seen recent increased interest. New tools are available to improve gait retraining in both adults and children. However, it remains difficult to determine optimal ways to plan interventions due to difficulties in continuously monitoring outcomes in patients undergoing rehabilitation. In this paper, we introduce an extension of the Force Field Adaptation Paradigm, used to quantitatively assess upper extremity motor adaptation, to the lower extremity. The algorithm is implemented on the Lokomat lower extremity gait orthosis and utilized to assess short-term motor adaptation. Establishing an understanding of how healthy adults' motor systems adapt to external perturbations will be important to understanding how the adaptive mechanisms involved in gait are altered by disease.
