In the researchers' words
This study focuses on investigating exosuit technology by evaluating its ability to provide a gait-restorative effect delivered in both clinic and community settings. The exosuit provides dynamic dorsiflexion and plantarflexion assist during walking. We will determine the effect of training parameters of intensity, repetition, and gait quality which are all key parameters associated with experience-dependent neuroplasticity. The other objective is to determine the effect of this intervention on community walking activity, walking speed, walking distance, and locomotor mechanics and energetics.
