Aging and partial body weight support affects gait variability [PDF]
Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, 2008 Background Aging leads to increases in gait variability which may explain the large incidence of falls in the elderly. Body weight support training may be utilized to improve gait in the elderly and minimize falls.

Robotic body weight support enables safe stair negotiation in compliance with basic locomotor principles [PDF]
Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, 2019 Background After a neurological injury, mobility focused rehabilitation programs intensively train walking on treadmills or overground. However, after discharge, quite a few patients are not able to independently negotiate stairs, a real-world task with ...

Dynamic Modeling and Simulation of a Body Weight Support System. [PDF]
J Healthc Eng, 2020 This paper proposes a body weight support (BWS) system with a series elastic actuator (SEA) to facilitate walking assistance and motor relearning during gait rehabilitation. This system comprises the following: a mobile platform that ensures movement of the system on the ground, a BWS mechanism with an SEA that is capable of providing the desired ...
