A user attachment for an apparatus for gait rehabilitation providing a possibility for a user to receive support during walking in a walking direction. A harness is attached to the body of the user and can be connected to a weight supporting device. This connection is a driven attachment arm attached at the weight supporting device which can be detachably connected with the harness. The driven attachment arm is connected via a double parallelogram unit with the harness attachment element. A guiding attachment arm can be connected with the weight supporting device and can be detachably connected with the harness attachment element for a rotative connection of the driven attachment arm with the guiding attachment arm.

A method, performed by a wearable device, of outputting a torque includes obtaining a first angle of a first joint of a first leg of a user and a second angle of a second joint of a second leg of the user, calculating a first adjustment angle, based on an offset angle set for the first angle and the first joint, determining a first state factor associated with the first angle and the second angle, based on the first adjustment angle and the second angle, determining a first value of a parameter for adjusting at least one of a magnitude, a direction, and timing of a torque to be output, determining a first torque value, based on the first state factor and the first value of the parameter, and controlling a motor driver of the wearable device to output the first torque value.

Two vertical front posts and two vertical rear posts are mounted on a flat platform of the automated device. The front posts mounted in the horizontal guide are symmetrically moved by the spacing adjustment mechanism within the range between the position of the joined front posts to a dimension between their inner surfaces equal to the width of the wheelchair, and the moved apart position to a dimension where the width dimension of the wheelchair is located between the mechanical legs suspended on the front posts. On the inner surfaces of the front posts, there are vertical guides with a screw drive mechanism for pelvic height adjustment. The mechanical legs girdle the patient's lower limbs from the outside by pelvic control units that induce a symmetrically alternating movement of the hip joint hinges in both mechanical legs with ellipsoid trajectories, and by adjustable thigh and shin connectors and foot connectors.

A human-computer interface system having an exoskeleton including a plurality of structural members coupled to one another by at least one articulation configured to apply a force to a body segment of a user, the exoskeleton comprising a body-borne portion and a point-of-use portion; the body-borne portion configured to be operatively coupled to the point-of-use portion; and at least one locomotor module including at least one actuator configured to actuate the at least one articulation, the at least one actuator being in operative communication with the exoskeleton.

An interface system in an exoskeleton includes a base support, a strap assembly, and posterior strut. The posterior strut has a vertical member defining a lower end connecting to the base support, and an upper end connecting to first and second transverse members extending in opposed directions from the vertical member. The first and second transverse members connect to the strap assembly. The interface system is adapted to receive and support an assistive device adapted to augment a user's performance and mitigate repetitive strain injuries.
