Fig. 1From: Optimized hip-knee-ankle exoskeleton assistance reduces the metabolic cost of walking with worn loadsExperimental setup. A exoskeleton emulator system. A participant wears the hip-knee-ankle exoskeleton emulator and walks on a split-belt treadmill. Powerful, offboard motors apply joint torques through a Bowden cable transmission. B exoskeleton end effector. The device can assist the hips, knees, and ankles. C experimental setup. Metabolic rate and muscle activity are measured while a participant wears the exoskeleton end effector and walks on a split-belt treadmillBack to article page
