Mobility related physical and functional losses due to aging and disease - a motivation for lower limb exoskeletons

Background Physical and functional losses due to aging and diseases decrease human mobility, independence, and quality of life. This study is aimed at summarizing and quantifying these losses in order to motivate solutions to overcome them with a special focus on the possibilities by using lower lim...
