Gait Adaptations (VIDEO)

Cell Press

Caption

<p>This video demonstrates the gait adaptations made in the experiment in response to lower limb robotic exoskeletons that alter the energetic consequences of movement. <p>In the middle panel, the subject walks at her natural step frequency when no penalty is applied. In the left panel, the subject walks at a high step frequency when the penalize-low controller is applied. In the right panel, the subject walks at a low step frequency when the penalize-high controller is applied.
