Abnormalities of gait can be caused by neurological impairment. However, the cost of therapy is one of the greatest obstacles to rehabilitation following neurological impairment. A simple, low-cost two-degree-of-freedom exoskeleton for the lower leg of the gait trainer has been designed and developed. This device can assist those who have walking difficulties in their rehabilitation process. This article discusses designing and developing a lower limb exoskeleton for a gait trainer with a PID controller. A microcontroller controls the dc motors in the hip and knee joints by utilizing a predetermined trajectory pattern, using data derived from healthy subjects. Experiments show that the PID controller produces a stable system, with steady-state errors between 0 and 10 degrees. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
