From: Learning to walk with a wearable robot in 880 simple steps: a pilot study on motor adaptation
A Participants walked on a split-belt treadmill with integrated force plates at a fixed speed of 0.9Â m/s and inclination of 10 degrees. A camera system tracked the position of passive reflective markers (light blue). EMG activity (green) was measured on the right leg and a respirometer collected breath-by-breath gas exchange. Tendon forces were measured with a load cell (red) attached to the distal anchor point of the cable on the knee orthosis. B The Myosuit assisted hip and knee extension between approx. 10 to 40% of the gait cycle. During the remaining part of the gait cycle, zero forces are applied.
