    Abstract: An exoskeleton (100; 204; 304; 404; 504; 602; 702; 802; 902; 1002) includes a control system (120; 205; 305; 405; 505; 603; 703; 803; 903; 1003; 1010) which incorporates a feedback system used to establish and communicate orthosis operational information to a physical therapist (202, 302, 402) and/or to an exoskeleton user (109; 201; 301; 401; 501; 601; 701; 801; 901; 1001). The feedback system can take various forms, including employing sensors (704; 804; 1004; 1010) to establish a feedback ready value and communicating the value through one or more light sources (206; 306; 503; 608) which can be in close proximity to joints of the exoskeleton joints.

    Abstract: The invention is directed to controlling a hydraulic actuation system (50) having at least one degree of freedom, a prime mover (101), at least one actuation module (110, 120, 130) and a controller (103), with each actuation module (110, 120, 130) including: an over-center variable displacement pump (112 and 113; 601; 801) having a power input connection configured to power the pump from the prime mover (101) and a displacement varying input for varying the displacement of the pump; a displacement varying actuator (111, 121, 131) configured to modulate the displacement varying input of the pump; an output actuator (115) in direct communication with the pump, the output actuator (115) configured to drive a corresponding degree of freedom; and at least one sensor (116, 126) establishing a feedback measurement that represents a force or motion of the output actuator (115).

    Abstract: An exoskeleton device provides for selectively adjusting an exoskeleton hip pivot/pivot position in the sagittal plane relative to the position of the hip pivot of a wearer of the exoskeleton. The exoskeleton hip pivots/pivot positions can be shifted forward or rearward relative to the hip pivots of the wearer and can either be automatically actuated by an exoskeleton control system or manually adjusted by the exoskeleton wearer. The invention particularly allows for differential hip placement in order to compensate for changing load or actuation conditions.

    Abstract: A gait orthotic system includes a balance aid and a gait orthotic device. The gait orthotic device has a rigid attachment mechanism configured to securely and releasably couple the balance aid to the gait orthotic device. When the balance aid is coupled to the gait orthotic device, the gait orthotic device is supported in a standing position so that a user of the gait orthotic device is able to use his/her hands freely. When the balance aid is not coupled to the gait orthotic device, the user is able to use the balance aid for locomotion. In certain embodiments, the balance aid is a forearm crutch, a walker or a cane, while the rigid attachment mechanism is a clamp with an over-center latch.
