| dc.description.abstract | Many studies are currently being conducted in order to optimize the functions of exoskeletons in a way that generates the greatest benefit for the user. However, this research is hampered by the traditional methodology of measuring metabolic cost, indirect calorimetry. This study proposes an alternative method, based not on the overall gas exchange of the body, but rather the relative activity of the relevant muscle groups in a method known as Cummulative Muscle Activation Per unit Distance(CMAPD) analysis. | |
