In the researchers' words
Despite the huge popularity exoskeletons have gained in the past years and the benefits that they have shown to provide to users, there are still many aspects of wearing an exoskeleton that have yet to be determined. Therefore, the main objective of this study is to evaluate the feasibility using the acceptability of incorporating a passive assistive bilateral exoskeleton into the daily routine of pre-frail adults for a duration of 12-weeks. The second aim of the study is to determine whether this effect can be sustained even after a period of 6-weeks following the cessation of usage.
