Ankle resistance with a unilateral soft exosuit increases plantarflexor effort during pushoff in unimpaired individuals

Ankle resistance with a unilateral soft exosuit increases plantarflexor effort during pushoff in unimpaired individuals

Abstract Background Ankle-targeting resistance training for improving plantarflexion function during walking increases rehabilitation intensity, an important factor for motor recovery after stroke. However, understanding of the effects of resisting plantarflexion during stance on joint kinetics and...
