Gait impairments is a common condition in post-stroke subjects. We recently presented a wearable ankle exoskeleton called G-Exos, which showed that the device assisted in the ankle's dorsiflexion and inversion/reversion movements. The aim of the current pilot study was to explore spatiotemporal gait parameters and center of pressure trajectories associated with the use of the G-Exos in stroke participants. Three post-stroke subjects (52-63 years, 2 female/1 male) walked 160-meter using the G-Exos on the affected limb, on a protocol divided into 4 blocks of 40-meters: (I) without the exoskeleton, (II) with systems hybrid system, (III) active only and (IV) passive only. The results showed that the use of the exoskeleton improved swing and stance phases on both limbs, reduced stride width on the paretic limb, increased stance COP distances, and made single support COP distances more similar between the paretic and non-paretic limb. This suggests that all G-Exos systems contributed to improving body weight bearing on the paretic limb and symmetry in the gait cycle.
