Passive-elastic knee-ankle exoskeleton reduces the metabolic cost of walking

BACKGROUND: Previous studies have shown that passive-elastic exoskeletons with springs in parallel with the ankle can reduce the metabolic cost of walking. We developed and tested the use of an unpowered passive-elastic exoskeleton for walking that stores elastic energy in a spring from knee extensi...
