Biomechanical walking mechanisms underlying the metabolic reduction caused by an autonomous exoskeleton

BACKGROUND: Ankle exoskeletons can now reduce the metabolic cost of walking in humans without leg disability, but the biomechanical mechanisms that underlie this augmentation are not fully understood. In this study, we analyze the energetics and lower limb mechanics of human study participants walki...
