Effects of a soft robotic exosuit on the quality and speed of overground walking depends on walking ability after stroke

Effects of a soft robotic exosuit on the quality and speed of overground walking depends on walking ability after stroke

Abstract Background Soft robotic exosuits can provide partial dorsiflexor and plantarflexor support in parallel with paretic muscles to improve poststroke walking capacity. Previous results indicate that baseline walking ability may impact a user’s ability to leverage the exosuit assistance, while t...
