Energetics of Walking With a Robotic Knee Exoskeleton

Mhairi K. MacLean and Daniel P. Ferris

exoskeletons have managed to reduce the metabolic cost of walking compared with able-body, unassisted walking. 1 , 5 Major obstacles to reducing metabolic cost with exoskeletons are weight, portability, power supply, and transmission of exoskeleton power to the biological joints. Uphill walking, load carriage

and often unaccustomed mechanical loading ( O’Leary, Wardle, Rawcliffe, et al., 2020 ). Known risk factors that affect MSKI include military-specific and repetitive weight-bearing activities such as load carriage ( Hughes et al., 2019 ), military drill ( Rice et al., 2018 ), and female sex ( O

Tapping Into Skeletal Muscle Biomechanics for Design and Control of Lower Limb Exoskeletons: A Narrative Review

Zahra S. Mahdian, Huawei Wang, Mohamed Irfan Mohamed Refai, Guillaume Durandau, Massimo Sartori, and Mhairi K. MacLean

/shoe stiffness as a potential design parameter to improve locomotion economy in tasks where muscles should generate more muscle force (eg, walking with load carriage) or operate with less economy (eg, fast walking speeds close to the walk-to-run transition). Also, Nuckols et al 136 showed how exoskeleton

associated with greater rubbing and chafing which was exacerbated by load carriage equipment. The compression style sports bra received the least comments about rubbing and chafing across tasks and was rated 2nd for overall comfort, despite providing poor support. The combination (unpadded) style was rated
