title: Computer control of a powered two degree freedom reciprocating gait orthosis.
abstract: The design of a motion control system for a powered reciprocating gait orthosis is considered. Models for the orthosis are obtained using least squares identification. The control system design is based on pole-placement techniques and a restricted Youla parametrization of the controller. Experimental results are included.
