- Individual curve fits of biomechanical parameters and metabolic rate were evaluated at the peak exosuit moment of Med. for Continuous-up, Discrete, Continuous-bidirectional and Continuous-down Brackets indicate significant differences (P ≤ 0.05). The peak joint angles in the table were selected based on the kinematical parameters that were shown to significantly increase or decrease with increasing peak exosuit ankle moment in [30]. Center-of-mass based metabolic rate estimate was selected as a global parameter that would represent the entire biomechanical changes and would have a good correlation with metabolic rate in a magnitude variation experiment [5, 28]. For comparison, change in metabolic rate is also reported in the table
