Impact of elastic ankle exoskeleton stiffness on neuromechanics and energetics of human walking across multiple speeds
BACKGROUND: Elastic ankle exoskeletons with intermediate stiffness springs in parallel with the human plantarflexors can reduce the metabolic cost of walking by ~ 7% at 1.25 m s(− 1). In a move toward ‘real-world’ application, we examined whether the unpowered approach has metabolic benefit across a...
