Adapted Assistance and Resistance Training With a Knee Exoskeleton After Stroke

IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering, 2023
Studies on robotic interventions for gait rehabilitation after stroke require: (i) rigorous performance evidence; (ii) systematic procedures to tune the control parameters; and (iii) combination of control modes. In this study, we investigated how stroke
