Learning to walk with a wearable robot in 880 simple steps: a pilot study on motor adaptation
Background Wearable robots have been shown to improve the efficiency of walking in diverse scenarios. However, it is unclear how much practice is needed to fully adapt to robotic assistance, and which neuromotor processes underly this adaptation ...
