Resumen:

Gait disorder have several causes such as neurological problems, aging, or orthopedic problems. A gait disorder affects directly on the lifestyle of a person and one of the options is the use of orthoses when is prescribed, specifically, the Knee-Ankle-Foot Orthosis (KAFO) is commonly used for patients that suffer from quadriceps weakness, poliomyelitis, leg contractions, leg deformity or leg fracture, among others. In our previous work, we proposed a KAFO with an automated knee lock-release system and now, we add a new feature that implements a connection of the KAFO with the cloud to facilitate the remote monitoring. In this report we show the biomechatronic system connected to the cloud and the trials.
