Usability of an exosuit in domestic and community environments
Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, 2022 Abstract Background Exosuits have been shown to reduce metabolic cost of walking and to increase gait performance when used in clinical environment. Currently, these devices are transitioning to private use to facilitate independent training at home and in the community. However, their acceptance in unsupervised settings
