Lower-Limb Exoskeletons for Mobility

Max Burns is a Ph.D. student in Mechanical Engineering and a recipient of the NSF and Stanford Graduate Research Fellowships. He is interested in developing intelligent lower limb exoskeletons to improve the mobility of people suffering from balance or gait impairments. Max’s previous research with the MIT Newman Laboratory used an instrumented walking cane to estimate postural sway velocity in older adults.
