A transition point: Assistance magnitude is a critical parameter when providing assistance during walking with an energy-removing exoskeleton or biomechanical energy harvester

Researchers and engineers have developed exoskeletons capable of reducing the energetic cost of walking by decreasing the force their users' muscles are required to produce while contracting. The metabolic effect of assisting concentric and isometric muscle contractions depends, in part, on ass...
