ABSTRACT:
A computer algorithm and hardware are disclosed for feedback control of movement in man for standing and walking. The system measures motion of the hips, knees and ankles and generates control signals for ten different muscle groups. Hip and knee supports are provided for restricting hip and knee movement to a common plane.
