Tomelleri, C. et al “Adaptive Locomotor Training on an End-Effector Gait Robot. Evaluation of the Ground Reaction Forces in Different Training Conditions.” IEEE International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics (ICORR), 2011. (2)
This study analyzed the force interaction between the foot and the ground during real floor walking on a treadmill, floor walking on the G-EO system and end-effector robotic gait trainer during passive and adaptive modes among 8 healthy volunteers. The results showed different ground reaction forces across all three conditions while the adaptive mode has shown ground reaction force patterns and intensities comparable to real floor walking.
