摘要: Exoskeletons that improve locomotion economy typically are engineered to reduce users' limb joint mechanical work or moments. Yet, dynamics do not necessarily reflect muscle dynamics, which dictate whole-body metabolic energy expenditure. Here, we hypothesize exoskeletons primarily user expenditure across conditions by reducing active volume.
