摘要: An orthesis system includes an exoskeleton configured to be coupled a user and separate support device in the form of crutches, walker or cane. Preferably, leg supports, trunk, actuators provide for movement exoskeleton. The at least one handle signal generator generate send command controller when activated by user. causes shift between first operational state second state. Optionally, from may utilized control Operational states include Walking, Standing, Seated, Sitting, Down Standing Up states. User signals can combination distinct main, walking, stopping signals.
