Abstract | Historically, impaired lower limb function has resulted in heavy health burden and large economic loss in society. Although experts from various fields have put large amounts of effort into overcoming this challenge, there is still not a single standard treatment that can completely restore the lost limb function. During the past half century, with the advancing understanding of human biomechanics and engineering technologies, exoskeletons have achieved certain degrees of success in assisting and rehabilitating patients with loss of limb function, and therefore has been spotlighted in both the medical and engineering fields. In this article, we review the development milestones of lower limb exoskeletons as well as the neuromuscular interactions between the device and wearer throughout the past 50 years. Fifty years ago, the lower-limb exoskeletons just started to be devised. We review several prototypes and present their designs in terms of structure, sensor and control systems. Subsequently, we introduce the development milestones of modern lower limb exoskeletons and discuss the pros and cons of these differentiated devices. In addition, we summarize current important neuromuscular control systems and sensors; and discuss current evidence demonstrating how the exoskeletons may affect neuromuscular control of wearers. In conclusion, based on our review, we point out the possible future direction of combining multiple current technologies to build lower limb exoskeletons that can serve multiple aims. |
