Case Report: Robot-assisted gait training with the wearable cyborg hybrid assistive limb 2S size in three children with cerebral palsy
A Case 1 had significant hip flexion during gait, but RAGT with HAL emphasized hip extension motion and enabled an efficient gait. As a result, the maximum hip extension angle increased, and the activity of the gluteus maximus muscle in the stance phase increased. Cases 2 and 3 had greater hip and knee joint flexion angles, however increased knee extension angles after RAGT. The increased hip and knee joint extension angles during the stance phase increased the propulsive force propelling the walker forward.
