Sequential photographs of a SCD patient without and with gait support during walking tests. Top panels show a patient’s gait before being attached to the power units at each joint. When patients walk without gait support from the curara system, they continue to wear the joint supports molded from deformable plastic. These structures do not disturb the patient’s natural gait because they are completely disconnected from the power unit, so there is no assistive torque. This condition is thus equivalent to not wearing the assistive robot. Bottom panels show the patient’s gait while walked after being outfitted with the curara system, which provides gait support
