Abstract: A wearable robot, system and method are provided for correcting gait impairments, such as knee hyperextension, in a user. The wearable robot is an assistive lower-limb exoskeleton having a frame and an actuation system to generate an assistive force with timing, duration, and amplitude based on a gait impairment mitigation strategy.

Abstract: A rotational joint of intra-extra rotation for assistance of the movement of intra-extra rotation of a shoulder of a user. The rotational joint features a first circular guide arranged to rotate about a first rotation axis and a second circular guide arranged to rotate about a second rotation axis that is parallel to the first rotation axis. A support element is arranged to support the first and the second circular guides. The first and the second circular guide are pivotally connected by a conical wheel having a third rotation axis perpendicular to the first rotation axes and said conical wheel being pivotally constrained to the support element.
