User-Centered Design Approach for Development of an Assistive Soft Exosuit and Initial Results on User Requirements

To support, and potentially improve, gait-related tasks, wearable robots (WR) are promising, especially soft-WR. To develop WR that are acceptable for their users, users need to be part of the design and development of WR.
