A Simple Exoskeleton That Assists Plantarflexion Can Reduce the Metabolic Cost of Human Walking

BACKGROUND: Even though walking can be sustained for great distances, considerable energy is required for plantarflexion around the instant of opposite leg heel contact. Different groups attempted to reduce metabolic cost with exoskeletons but none could achieve a reduction beyond the level of walki...
