简要总结
The research is towards an advanced control and computer learning strategy that will intelligently drive a powered walker for people with walking disabilities. The aim of the control strategy is to provide powered assistance that optimally reduces the metabolic cost of walking. The goal of the proposed intelligent walker is to reduce the workload of walking, keeping this population walking longer, providing critical exercise, continued muscle development and improved quality of life.

结局指标
主要结局
Metabolic Cost (Oxygen Consumption)
时间窗: Five minutes
Oxygen consumption data will be collected with a Oxycon Mobile (VIASYS Healthcare Inc.) portable indirect calorimetry system. The outcome measure is the reduction in metabolic cost of using the powered walker compared to an unpowered walker.
