Design of a passive overground body weight support system with forward force: Theory, conception & realization

Gait rehabilitation attempts to alleviate gait and balance impairments caused by spinal cord injury. Conventional gait rehabilitation often includes unloading a portion of the user’s weight with a vertical force. This vertical force enables people to practice stepping but makes forward propulsion more difficult. Users will adopt a compensatory...
