Description preview
At the time this project was initiated, no pediatric exoskeleton designed specifically for children with crouch gait (or cerebral palsy) existed. The NIH research team spent several years developing new robotic technology to fill this gap. We built a prototype exoskeleton, which we called the extension assist knee ankle foot orthosis (EA-KAFO),…
