Ankle exoskeletons have emerged as promising tools for providing rehabilitation and mobility assistance to individuals with motor impairments caused by neurological, metabolic, and vascular conditions. While research highlights the potential of these devices, significant challenges remain in achieving conclusive results and ensuring accessibility to the target population. This presentation will discuss the current state of ankle rehabilitation technology, focusing on the need for flexible structures and adaptive control strategies to improve human-robot interaction.
