Abstract

This project investigates the drawbacks of present exoskeletons used for lower limb disabled people, focusing on the improvement of the design of an exoskeleton to reduce these disadvantages and make the exoskeleton more suitable to the disabled, these improvements are intended to increase the comfortability, flexibility and convenience of the exoskeleton.
