In the researchers' words
The purpose of the current study is to investigate the effects of powered exoskeleton (EKSO) on cardiovascular performance as measured by resting blood pressure and heart rate, peak oxygen consumption during walking, energy expenditure, whole and regional body composition assessments. The effects of exoskeleton training on walking kinematics including stand-up time, walking time, distance covered and speed of walking will also be evaluated.
