The spring stiffness profile within a passive, full-leg exoskeleton affects lower-limb joint mechanics while hopping
Passive, full-leg exoskeletons that act in parallel with the legs can reduce the metabolic power of bouncing gaits like hopping. However, the magnitude of metabolic power reduction depends on the spring stiffness profile of the exoskeleton and is presumably affected by how users adapt their lower-li...
