Wearable powered robotic exoskeleton can provide high repetitions and high-intensity gait training. It can promote a sense of well-being when the user is in upright posture to walk around different environment. We present a case of a lady with progressive multiple sclerosis who received 15 sessions of robotic exoskeleton training. Post training, she demonstrated improvement in lower limb strength, sense of well-being and self-esteem that led to improved transfer ability, increased social outings and better quality of life (QOL). Previously, she was depressed and reluctant to go out for social activities. This case suggests the potential of robotic exoskeleton to enhance QOL in people with mobility challenges.
可穿戴动力机器人外骨骼可以提供高重复和高强度的步态训练。当用户处于直立姿势在不同环境中行走时，它可以带来幸福感。我们介绍了一位患有进行性多发性硬化症的女士的病例，她接受了 15 次机器人外骨骼训练。训练后，她的下肢力量、幸福感和自尊心都有所提高，从而提高了转移能力，增加了社交活动，并改善了生活质量（QOL）。此前，她情绪低落，不愿意外出参加社交活动。这个病例表明，机器人外骨骼有可能提高行动障碍者的生活质量。
