Proportional Joint-Moment Control for Instantaneously Adaptive Ankle Exoskeleton Assistance
Lower-limb exoskeletons used to improve free-living mobility for individuals with neuromuscular impairment must be controlled to prescribe assistance that adapts to the diverse locomotor conditions encountered during daily life, including walking at different speeds and across varied terrain. The goal...
