Reducing the metabolic cost of walking with an ankle exoskeleton: interaction between actuation timing and power

BACKGROUND: Powered ankle-foot exoskeletons can reduce the metabolic cost of human walking to below normal levels, but optimal assistance properties remain unclear. The purpose of this study was to test the effects of different assistance timing and power characteristics in an experiment with a teth...
