Gait Adaptations (VIDEO)

Cell Press

Caption

This video demonstrates the gait adaptations made in the experiment in response to lower limb robotic exoskeletons that alter the energetic consequences of movement.

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.
