Sponsor's own description

A novel interactive exoskeleton robotic system with embedded force and motion sensors will be developed to facilitate walking of stroke patients with hemiparesis. The robot will synchronise with the gait pattern of the stroke patient to provide assistance in ankle dorsiflexion during swing phase. It is hypothesised that the robot can facilitate stable and longer walking distance for stroke patients with drop foot problem. It can be applied on unilateral side, which is suitable for stroke patients with hemiparesis. The whole system design is lightweight, compact, comfortable, and user-friendly in hospital or at home settings.
