Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Treadmill walking	Treadmill walking	All subjects underwent measurements of muscle fatigue and respiratory metabolism energy during treadmill walking at a comfortable speed for 6 minutes and measured by three conditions (①NoGEMS-free gait, ②Torque off with GEMS, and ③Torque on with GEMS)

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Change on metabolic energy expenditure	1 hour	All subjects underwent measurements of respiratory metabolism energy during treadmill walking at a comfortable speed for 6 minutes and measured by three conditions (①NoGEMS-free gait, ②Torque off with GEMS, and ③Torque on with GEMS).; Metabolic energy expenditure and muscle fatigue are measured simultaneously

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Change on muscle fatigue	1 hour	All subjects underwent measurements of muscle fatigue at a comfortable speed for 6 minutes and measured by three conditions (①NoGEMS-free gait, ②Torque off with GEMS, and ③Torque on with GEMS).; Metabolic energy expenditure and muscle fatigue are measured simultaneously
