One study presents a pediatric exoskeleton that provides adaptive assistance to knee extension to alleviate crouch and its evaluation in a child with cerebral palsy (Chen et al.). Two manuscripts present novel controllers which leverage reinforcement learning and their evaluation in simulation: one for assisting squatting motion (Luo et al.) and one for bipedal exoskeleton walking in three dimensions (Liu et al.). The fi nal manuscript evaluates the fusion of surface electromyography (EMG) and muscle sonography to estimate limb movement in a variety of locomotor tasks (Rabe and Fey). a novel Motor Assisted Hybrid Neuroprosthesis (MAHNP) with actuated hip and knee joints and a distributed control architecture that integrates the exoskeleton with customized FES systems. A supervisory gait event detector split the gait cycle into four discrete states. The hip and/or knee motors could be activated with bursts of torque to assist the stimulation-driven limb motion. The system was evaluated in two participants with SCI, each with different implanted stimulation systems. Each
