Biomechanical models in the lower-limb exoskeletons development: a review.
Review in Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Lower limb exoskeletons serve multiple purposes, like supporting and augmenting movement. Biomechanical models are practical tools to understand human movement, and motor control. This paper provides an overview of these models and a comprehensive review of the current applications of them in assistive device development. It also critically analyzes the existing literature to identify research gaps and suggest future directions. Biomechanical models can be broadly classified as conceptual and detailed models and can be used for the design, control, and assessment of exoskeletons. Also, these models can estimate unmeasurable or hard-to-measure variables, which is also useful within the aforementioned applications. We identified the validation of simulation studies and the enhancement of the accuracy and fidelity of biomechanical models as key future research areas for advancing the development of assistive devices. Additionally, we suggest using exoskeletons as a tool to validate and refine these models. We also emphasize the exploration of model-based design and control approaches for exoskeletons targeting pathological gait, and utilizing biomechanical models for diverse design objectives of exoskeletons. In addition, increasing the availability of open source resources accelerates the advancement of the exoskeleton and biomechanical models. Although biomechanical models are widely applied to improve movement assistance and rehabilitation, their full potential in developing human-compatible exoskeletons remains underexplored and requires further investigation. This review aims to reveal existing needs and cranks new perspectives for developing more effective exoskeletons based on biomechanical models.
