Mechanics of walking and running up and downhill: A joint-level perspective to guide design of lower-limb exoskeletons.
Lower-limb wearable robotic devices can improve clinical gait and reduce energetic demand in healthy populations. To help enable real-world use, we sought to examine how assistance should be applied in variable gait conditions and suggest an approach derived from knowledge of human locomotion mechan...
