In the researchers' words
The goal of this study is to identify the needs and requirements of end-users regarding the implementation of a lower-limb exoskeleton in a remote home setting. The end-users include older adults with sarcopenia, post-stroke individuals and physiotherapists. The main question it aims to answer is: • What are the needs and requirements of the end-user population when developing a lower-limb exoskeleton that can be implemented in a remote home setting? Participants will engage in three separate focus group sessions, in which they will discuss the predetermined topics. Interactions between the participants will be guided by open questions.
