For research on walking and balance rehabilitation in patients suffering from lower-limb impairments, we propose to acquire a powered exoskeleton with functional electrical stimulation (FES). This consists of a battery-operated, wearable external skeleton that is strapped to or near the torso, the hip, the knee and the foot. As a patient uses walkers or forearm crutches to maintain balance, the powered hip and knee joints of the exoskeleton are moved under computer control to assist the patient to walk.

为了研究下肢损伤患者的行走和平衡康复，我们提出了一种带有功能电刺激（FES）的动力外骨骼。它由一个电池驱动的可穿戴的外部骨架组成，它被绑在躯干、臀部、膝盖和脚上或附近。当患者使用助行器或前臂拐杖保持平衡时，外骨骼的动力髋关节和膝关节在计算机控制下移动，以帮助患者行走。
