It is an exciting time in wearable robotics with new devices for spinal cord injury, gait assistance, rehabilitation, strength enhancement, manufacturing, construction, and recreation. This review will focus on lower limb wearable robotic systems that include orthoses, prostheses, and exoskeletons. The promises and challenges of these systems will be described. A review of some of the exciting systems will be presented.
