Effect of Soft Robotic Exosuit Assistance in Healthy People

Effect of Soft Robotic Exosuit Assistance in Healthy People

This study aims to find out what effect there is on the difference in energy use efficiency and gait analysis when walking while wearing knee and hip assist robots based on flexible power structures for normal people. Energy consumption efficiency will measure the amount of energy metabolism and heart rate during walking for a set period of time, and for gait analysis, kinetic and kinematic data will be analyzed through 3D motion analysis. In addition, after completing the evaluation, we intend to help in future improvement of the product by collecting usability and satisfaction evaluation and improvements through questionnaires.

Inclusion Criteria
