Effect of Soft Robotic Exosuit Assistance in Healthy People

Not Applicable

Recruiting

• Conditions: Healthy Person
• Interventions: Device: EXO On, EXO Off, EXO Removed treadmill (Uphill_incline 10°) walking and simultaneous evaluation

• Registration Number: NCT05693233
• Lead Sponsor: Yonsei University

Brief Summary

This study aims to find out what effect there is on the difference in energy use efficiency and gait analysis when walking while wearing knee and hip assist robots based on flexible power structures for normal people. Energy consumption efficiency will measure the amount of energy metabolism and heart rate during walking for a set period of time, and for gait analysis, kinetic and kinematic data will be analyzed through 3D motion analysis. In addition, after completing the evaluation, we intend to help in future improvement of the product by collecting usability and satisfaction evaluation and improvements through questionnaires.
