Resumo
Spinal muscular atrophy is a degenerative disease that affects the motor neurons of the spinal cord and is manifested by a marked hypotonia and muscle weakness. This means that many of the children who suffer from it can’t walk. This loss of standing and walking causes problems both physical and psychosocial. The creation and development of walking exoskeletons could be a solution to this problem and could be a reality in the near future. Most of the studies done on exoskeletons focus on studying physical parameters, forgetting subjective aspects related to the person who is using them and that are important and significant. This thesis aims to knowledge.
