Summary
The purpose of this study was to investigate the changes in muscle fatigue and respiratory metabolic energy expenditure during walking with wearable hip-assist robot (V3).
Detailed description
The purpose of this study was to investigate the changes in muscle fatigue and respiratory metabolic energy expenditure during walking with wearable hip-assist robot (V3). Metabolic energy expenditure and muscle fatigue are measured simultaneously.
