Current research into specialized balance recovery strategies is limited, highlighting a gap in biomechanics-inspired control methods.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Methods:<\/jats:bold>\n                    We introduce a new metric called \u201cOrbit Energy\u201d (OE), which assesses the balance state of the human-exoskeleton system based on the dynamics of the overall center of mass. Our control framework utilizes OE to choose appropriate balance recovery strategies, including torque controls at the ankle and hip joints.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold>\n                    The efficacy of our control algorithm was confirmed through Matlab Simulink simulations, which analyzed the recovery of balance under various disturbance forces and conditions. Further validation came from physical experiments with human subjects wearing the exoskeleton, where a significant reduction in muscle activation was observed during balance maintenance under external disturbances.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Discussion:<\/jats:bold>\n                    Our findings underscore the potential of biomechanics-inspired metrics like OE in enhancing exoskeleton functionality for rehabilitation purposes. The introduction of such metrics could lead to more targeted and effective balance recovery strategies, ultimately improving the safety and stability of exoskeleton use in rehabilitation settings.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fbioe.2024.1389243","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,29]],"date-time":"2024-04-29T00:37:14Z","timestamp":1714351034000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Balance recovery for lower limb exoskeleton in standing posture based on orbit energy analysis"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Mengze","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bi","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ligang","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiaowei","family":"Tan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ning","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xingang","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"2022","DOI":"10.1186\/s12984-023-01205-9","article-title":"Assisting walking balance using a bio-inspired exoskeleton controller","author":"Afschrift","year":"2022","journal-title":"bioRxiv"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"119","DOI":"10.1186\/s12984-021-00906-3","article-title":"Review of control strategies for lower-limb exoskeletons to assist gait","volume":"18","author":"Baud","year":"2021","journal-title":"J.
