Abstract

© 2018This study compared overground walking with and without exosuit assistance in post-stroke patients. Exosuit-assisted walking was found to improve paretic propulsion and ground clearance during swing, two common gait deviations in stroke patients. No changes in leg muscle activity was found, motivating further study of the exosuit as a tool for gait training during stroke rehabilitation.
