    Abstract: A powered orthotic system, such as an exoskeleton (100), is employed for overground rehabilitation purposes by adapting and adjusting to real-time needs in a rehabilitation situation whereby the system can be initially controlled to perform gait functions for a wearer (109) based on a predetermined level of assistance but the predetermined level of assistance can be varied, based on one or more rehabilitation parameters or specific needs of the wearer (109) undergoing therapy, through the application and adjustment of appropriate variables associated with operation of the system.

    Abstract: An exoskeleton device (103; 113; 302; 402) provides for selectively adjusting an exoskeleton hip pivot/pivot position (109; 119; 306; 407; 408; 410) in the sagittal plane relative to the position of the hip pivot (133) of a wearer (101; 111; 301; 401) of the exoskeleton (103; 113; 302; 402). The exoskeleton hip pivots/pivot positions (109; 119; 306; 407; 408; 410) can be shifted forward or rearward relative to the hip pivots (133) of the wearer (101; 111; 301; 401) and can either be automatically actuated by an exoskeleton control system or manually adjusted by the exoskeleton wearer (101; 111; 301; 401). 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 (120) and a gait orthotic device (100). The gait orthotic device (120) has a rigid attachment mechanism (125, 130) configured to securely and releasably couple the balance aid (120) to the gait orthotic device (100). When the balance aid (120) is coupled to the gait orthotic device (100), the gait orthotic device (100) is supported in a standing position so that a user of the gait orthotic device (100) is able to use his/her hands freely. When the balance aid (120) is not coupled to the gait orthotic device (100), the user is able to use the balance aid (120) for locomotion. In certain embodiments, the balance aid (120) is a forearm crutch, a walker or a cane, while the rigid attachment mechanism (125, 130) is a clamp with an over-center latch (510).

    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.
