摘要：
A flexible orthotic device includes two or more active components embedded in a sheet material. Each active component can include a controller and one or more actuation elements controlled by the controller. The two or more active components can communicate with each other and cause the active components to contract and dynamically change the structural characteristics of the orthotic device. By coordinating the motion of two or more active components, the flexible orthotic device can be programmed to assist or resist the motion of a subject wearing the device. The orthotic device can be effectively employed to provide locomotion assistance, gait rehabilitation, and gait training. Similarly, the orthotic device may be applied to the wrist, elbow, torso, or any other body part. The active components may be actuated to effectively transmit force to a body part, such as a limb, to assist with movement when desired. Additionally or alternatively, the active components may also be actuated to provide support of varying rigidity for the corresponding body part. The active components can be actuated to provide specialized learning tasks to enhance exploratory learning.
摘要（中）：
柔性矫形装置包括嵌入片材中的两个或更多个有源部件。 每个有源部件可以包括控制器和由控制器控制的一个或多个致动元件。 两个或更多个有源部件可以相互通信并且导致有源部件收缩并动态地改变矫形装置的结构特征。 通过协调两个或更多个活动部件的运动，柔性矫形装置可以被编程以辅助或抵抗佩戴该装置的对象的运动。 矫形装置可以有效地用于提供运动辅助，步态康复和步态训练。 类似地，矫形装置可以应用于手腕，肘部，躯干或任何其他身体部位。 可以致动主动部件以有效地将力传递至身体部位，例如肢体，以在需要时协助移动。 附加地或替代地，也可以致动主动部件以为相应的身体部位提供不同刚性的支撑。 可以启动活动组件以提供专门的学习任务以加强探索性学习。
