Abstract

The main goal of the Symbitron project was to develop a safe, bio-inspired, personalized wearable exoskeleton that enables SCI patients to walk without additional assistance, by complementing their remaining motor function. Here we give an overview of major achievements of the projects.

The study in this work was supported by the Symbitron project, partially funded under grant 661626 of the Seventh Framework Program (FP7) of the European Commission (Information and Communication Technologies, FP7-ICT-2013-10).
