Prior experiments have shown that human gait synchronizes to periodic torque pulses applied about the hip and ankle joints by robotic exoskeletons. Importantly, entrainment occurred even when the pulse period differed slightly from the user’s preferred stride period, making it a viable approach to increase gait speed. As gait speed is an important outcome of gait therapy, gait entrainment to mecha...
