Abstract
Disability is a condition that affects the quality of life of people due to different causes that include sarcopenia, degenerative diseases, among others. Economic instability, emotional impact, and other triggers on people with disabilities are examples of the consequences that commonly affect them. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), statistics reveal that 15% of the population are people with disabilities. Lower-limb exoskeletons are one of the technological solutions that help patients in their rehabilitation process or as assistance equipment. One of the most essential systems that are part of the exoskeletons of the lower extremities is the control system that has the control laws that define the functionality of this type of equipment. Therefore, in this review, various control methods and/or techniques used in 73 lower limb exoskeletons are analyzed, classifying their information in different sections such as trade names, biosignals used as information inputs through the mechatronic system, sensors that obtain information on control parameters such as position and force, actuators that perform the selected functions, and their common applications.
