If the patient has sufficient ability to consent but has difficulty writing due to primary disease progression, written consent is to be obtained from the patient's legally acceptable representative after confirming that the subject himself/herself consents to participate in the study;
(1)In the case that patient's length and shape are not fit to HAL(Lower Limb Type).
(2)In the case that patient is not allowed to stand and/or walk with HAL(Lower Limb Type).
(3)In the case that electrodes are not allowed to be put on the patient's skin because of the patient's skin disease.
