Cover Story: The rehabilitation of paralysis caused by a stroke or a spinal cord injury (SCI) remains a complex and time-consuming task. This work proposes a hybrid exoskeleton approach combining a traditional exoskeleton and functional electrical stimulation (FES) as a promising method in rehabilitation. However, hybrid exoskeletons with a closed-loop FES control strategy are functionally challenging to achieve and have not been reported often. Therefore, this investigation incorporates a body motion capture system to explore the viability of a powered lower-limb exoskeleton with a closed-loop FES control for Sit-to-Stand (STS) movements. View this paper
