Ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) is a hyperostonic condition in which the posterior longitudinal ligament becomes thick and loses its flexibility, resulting in ectopic ossification and severe neurologic deficit (Matsunaga and Sakou, 2012). It commonly presents with myelopathy and radiculopathy and with myelopathy progression motor disorders and balance disorders can appear. Even after appropriate surgical decompression, some motor impairments often remain. The Hybrid Assistive Limb (HAL) is a wearable powered suit designed to assist and support the user's voluntary control of hip and knee joint motion by detecting bioelectric signals from the skin surface and force/pressure sensors in the shoes during movement. In the current study, the HAL intervention was applied to 15 patients diagnosed with OPLL who presented with myelopathy after decompression surgery (6 acute and 9 chronic stage). Following the HAL intervention, there were significant improvements in gait speed, cadence, stride length, in both acute and chronic groups. Joint angle analysis of the lower limbs showed that range of motion (ROM) of hip and knee joints in acute group, and also ROM of hip
