HemiStride: Design of a Low-cost and Backdrivable Lower-Limb Exoskeleton for Hemiplegic Patients<\/u><\/p>\n

Hemiplegia is a type of paralysis where one side of the body experiences a loss of motor function. Hemiplegics may be confined to a wheelchair, which presents health issues such as low bone mineral density and muscle atrophy. This project designed and built HemiStride, an affordable single-leg exoskeleton with full gait support for hemiplegics. (2023, T. Zhan)<\/p>\n
