This paper addresses a design for an exoskeleton used for human locomotion purposes in cases of people with neuromotor disorders. The reason for starting this research was given by the development of some intelligent systems for walking recovery involved in a new therapy called stationary walking therapy. This therapy type will be used in this research case, through a robotic system specially designed for functional walking recovery. Thus, the designed robotic system structure will have a patient lifting/positioning mechanism, a special exoskeleton equipped with sensors and actuators, a treadmill for walking, and a command and control unit. The exoskeleton’s lower limbs will have six orthotic devices. Thus, the exoskeleton’s lower limbs’ motions and orthoses angle variations will be generated by healthy human subjects on the treadmill with the possibility of memorizing these specific motions for obtaining one complete gait cycle. After this, the memorized motions will be performed to a patient with neuromotor disorders for walking recovery programs. The design core is focused on two planar-parallel mechanisms implemented at the knee and ankle joints of each leg’s exoskeleton. Thus, numerical simulations for the design process were carried out to validate the engineering feasibility of the proposed leg exoskeleton.
