Review of hybrid exoskeletons to restore gait following spinal cord injury. J Rehabil Res Dev. 2012;49(4):497–514. http://dx.doi.org/10.1682/JRRD.2011.03.0043 Slideshow Project DOI:10.1682/JRRD.2011.03.0043JSP Aim – Review hybrid lower-limb exoskeletons, related technologies, advances in actuation and control systems, and functional assessment of individuals with spinal cord injury. Relevance – Combination of functional electrical stimulation (FES) technology and exoskeletons brings together technologies, methods, and rehabilitation principles that can overcome drawbacks of each individual approach.

Review of hybrid exoskeletons to restore gait following spinal cord injury. J Rehabil Res Dev. 2012;49(4):497–514. http://dx.doi.org/10.1682/JRRD.2011.03.0043 Slideshow Project DOI:10.1682/JRRD.2011.03.0043JSP Conclusions – Hybrid technologies can produce feasible systems in which exoskeleton provides FES with adequate control of joint movement, reducing system’s energy requirements. – Assist-as-needed control strategies must also be implemented. – Systems should challenge users to walk in real environments. – Clinical evaluation must address gait performance, user-perception, and physiological cost through clinically validated functional scales and protocols.
