Mechanical orthoses such as hip ankle foot orthoses that include the walkabout, the hip ankle linked orthosis, the prime walk, para walker and hip guidance orthosis, the advanced reciprocal gait orthosis, and the isocentric reciprocal gait orthosis have all been used for patients with spinal cord injury in therapeutic treatment in providing standing and walking activities. Although the positive effects of mechanical orthoses are well demonstrated , there are several reasons why an optimal level of walking for SIC patients has backs. not been achieved especially due to the high energy consumption and overloading on upper limb joints when walking with mechanical oethoses. paraplegic patients usually demonstrate high energy forward propulsion and swinging of the lower limbs. the use of a powered lower limb orthoses may offer a solution to resolving these drawbacks.
powered lower limb orthoses can be useful devices for walking and standing in SCI patients. the purpose of these orthoses is to provide torque to targeted joints during walking. ideally, this mechanical assistance is designed to produce overall kinematic patterns similar to that of normal walking.
