Assistive mechanisms of (distal) ankle exoskeletons and a (proximal) robotic waist tether

This abstract has open access
Abstract Summary
Simulations and experimental studies show that it is possible to reduce loads in joints that are not directly assisted by an exoskeleton. In this presentation, we will give an overview of proximal effects of ankle exoskeletons as well as preliminary results on distal effects of a robotic waist tether that allows applying cyclic force profiles per step at the center of mass.
