Abstrakt: This paper analyzes an orthotic robot's capability of changing the direction of motion as part of its gait process while it is being worn by a user. Exoskeletons and orthotic robots are presented, focusing on their capabilities regarding the implementing a turn of their lower limbs. The devices are analyzed, and a method is proposed, being safe for the user, which ensures the required change of the angular position of the user's trunk, having performed a turn of the device. The smallest movement of each lower limb, which is necessary to enable a turn of the trunk in such a way that the turn can be performed by both lower limbs, is determined. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
