Abstract: A gait orthotic system includes a balance aid and a gait orthotic device. The gait orthotic device has a rigid attachment mechanism configured to securely and releasably couple the balance aid to the gait orthotic device. When the balance aid is coupled to the gait orthotic device, the gait orthotic device is supported in a standing position so that a user of the gait orthotic device is able to use his/her hands freely. When the balance aid is not coupled to the gait orthotic device, the user is able to use the balance aid for locomotion. In certain embodiments, the balance aid is a forearm crutch, a walker or a cane, while the rigid attachment mechanism is a clamp with an over-center latch.

Abstract translation: 步态矫正系统包括平衡辅助装置和步态矫正装置。 步态矫正装置具有刚性连接机构，其构造成将平衡辅助件牢固地和可释放地联接到步态矫正装置。 当平衡辅助装置耦合到步态矫正装置时，步态矫正装置被支撑在站立位置，使得步态矫正装置的使用者能够自由地使用他/她的手。 当平衡辅助装置没有耦合到步态矫正装置时，用户能够使用平衡辅助装置来移动。 在某些实施例中，平衡辅助件是前臂拐杖，步行器或手杖，而刚性附接机构是具有过中心闩锁的夹具。

Abstract: An exoskeleton includes a control system which incorporates a feedback system used to establish and communicate orthosis operational information to a physical therapist and/or to an exoskeleton user. The feedback system can take various forms, including employing sensors to establish a feedback ready value and communicating the value through one or more light sources which can be in close proximity to joints of the exoskeleton joints.
