Effect of the timing of force application on the toe trajectory in the swing phase for a wire-driven gait assistance robot

We propose an effective timing of intermittent force application by a gait assistance robot with a wire-driven system to increase the toe trajectory throughout the swing phase. We tested different timings of force application at the shank, employing the short-term assistance of the robot to increase...
