Mechanics and energetics of walking and running up and downhill: A joint-level perspective to guide design of lower-limb exoskeletons

2020-04-07

Abstract excerpt

Lower-limb wearable robotic devices can provide effective assistance to both clinical and healthy populations; however, how assistance should be applied in different gait conditions and environments is still unclear. We suggest a biologically-inspired approach derived from knowledge of human locomotion mechanics and energetics to establish a ‘roadmap’ for wearable robot design. In this study, we characterize the c...
