Abstract

In this paper, we describe about assessment of our AIDER exoskeleton using objective and subjective methods. The results show that a difference of transferring center of mass between with the exoskeleton walking task and without the exoskeleton walking task. It also shows a difference of transferring center of mass between the SCI patient and the healthy subjects during the waking task. These results reveal that the mechanical structure caused changing in subjects’ center of mass, and this may affect subjects’ safety and comfort.
