Kurzbeschreibung (Abstract)

Lower limb exoskeletons serve multiple purposes, like supporting and augmenting movement. Biomechanical models are practical tools to understand human movement, and motor control. This review explores the applications of biomechanical gait models in the development of lower-limb exoskeletons. Biome- chanical models can be broadly categorized as conceptual and de- tailed models. Biomechanical models can be used for the design, control, and assessment of exoskeletons. Also, these models can be used to estimate unmeasurable or hard-to-measure variables, which is also useful within the aforementioned applications. The analysis of applications and research areas aims to inspire further advancements in this field and contribute to the development of more effective exoskeletons. We highlight validating simulation studies, improving the accuracy and fidelity of biomechanical models, and benefiting from exoskeletons to enhance or validate biomechanical models as future research areas related to biome- chanical models. We also emphasize the exploration of model- based design and control approaches for exoskeletons targeting pathological gait, and utilizing biomechanical models for diverse design objectives of exoskeletons. Also, increasing the availability of open-source resources accelerates exoskeleton and biome- chanical model advancement. Our review reveals existing needs and cracks new perspectives for the development of more us- able and human-compatible exoskeletons based on biomechanical models.
