Abstract: Nowadays, mechatronics is the dominant concept for building various types of technical systems. High data processing speeds in the control units of mechatronic devices and the high dynamics of their actuators enable the expansion of their application areas. This phenomenon is also occurring in medicine, particularly in attempts to replace lost human motor functions using assistive robots. The authors are working on a device to assist the gait of people with leg paralysis. The article presents the structural concept of the developed system.
