Several of thes e systems\, commonly referred to as “exoskeletons\,” have progressed t o commercial reality. The development of one of these exoskeleton platform s\, the Indego by Parker Hannifin Corporation\, will be presented as a cas e study. The design of the hardware and control will be discussed\, and va lidation of the design hypotheses will be presented as clinical outcomes. System variants will be described that support multiple indications and us e cases\, including: (1) gait assistance post spinal cord injury (SCI)\; ( 2) gait rehabilitation post stroke\; (3) functional electrical stimulation of lower extremity muscle groups\; (4) stair ascent and descent\; and (5) enhanced gait biomechanics for advanced SCI users.\n\nBio: Ryan J.
