Characterizing the relationship between peak assistance torque and metabolic cost reduction during running with ankle exoskeletons

Characterizing the relationship between peak assistance torque and metabolic cost reduction during running with ankle exoskeletons

Abstract Background Reducing the energy cost of running with exoskeletons could improve enjoyment, reduce fatigue, and encourage participation among novice and ageing runners. Previously, tethered ankle exoskeleton emulators with offboard motors were used to greatly reduce the energy cost of running...
