LOPES Exoskeleton Robot for Interactive Gait Rehabilitation
Researchers at the University of Twente, led by Jan F. Veneman and colleagues, developed LOPES (Lower Extremity Powered ExoSkeleton), a treadmill-based robotic exoskeleton for interactive gait rehabilitation following stroke, with the system described fully in a 2007 IEEE publication. The robot combined powered hip and knee actuation with impedance control to support or resist patient movement during walking.
