Condition: Cerebrovascular Stroke · Foot Drop · Foot Inversion Deformity · Sponsor: The Hong Kong Polytechnic University
In this work, a novel hybrid ankle-foot robot is designed for gait rehabilitation after stroke, i.e., exoneuromusculoskeleton with balance sensing feedback (ENMS-BSF) by integrating the advantages of soft pneumatic muscle, functional electrical stimulation, exoskeleton and foot balance feedback in one system. With the assistance of the ENMS-BSF the foot drop and foot inversion could be corrected with improved muscle coordination in the paretic lower limb. The device is wearable and light-in-weight for unilateral application during walking. It is hypothesized that with the intervention of the ENMS-BSF the gait pattern of persons after stroke can be improved with long-term rehabilitative effects.
