The brake unit is controlled to damp the knee joint motion in stance phase, aiming to suppress excessive knee flexion and to support stance stability. An ...
Abstract: Gait abnormality in children with Cerebral Palsy (CP) is characterized by excessive knee flexion with a crouched posture.
It should be suitable for CP gait patterns (see section II.D); however, a very limited number of exoskeletons have been developed in this regard.
