This article describes the results of a follow-up study of 14 paraplegic individuals who were fitted with the ARGO (Advanced Reciprocating Gait Orthosis – STEEPER*) at least 1 year previously. It was found that 85% were still using the apparatus on a regular basis. The general satisfaction of the users was high, although the functional use was limited. Therapeutic reasons appeared to be the main reason for wearing the ARGO. The points that were most appreciated were the psychological and physiological benefits of standing and walking. Discussion with the users who were paraplegic provided valuable information concerning possible technical improvements to the ARGO.

An algorithm is presented to detect the step intention of paraplegics walking with a hybrid gait orthosis, the Advanced Reciprocating Gait Orthosis (ARGO) in combination with Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES). It is based on the information of four pressure sensors mounted under the feet. A finite state approach is used. The system has been tested by two paraplegics with positive results.

The knee mechanism of an Advanced Reciprocating Gait Orthosis is adapted to allow flexion of the knee during the swing phase. The new knee mechanism is electrically controlled and consists of a mini DC motor with gearbox, a cam and a follower. Preliminary tests with the system are positive, but they show that it should not be used without FES.

This article describes the development of a low cost cycling unit for para- and tetraplegics that can be used in combination with Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES). A prototype was constructed and tested with a positive result. The most important test results are summarised.
