The influence of elastic ankle exoskeletons on lower limb mechanical energetics during unexpected perturbations

Passive elastic ankle exoskeletons have been used to augment locomotor performance during walking, running and hopping. In this study, we aimed to determine how these passive devices influence lower limb joint and whole-body mechanical energetics to maintain stable upright hopping during rapid, unex...
