Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Treadmill walking

All subjects underwent measurements of muscle fatigue and respiratory metabolism energy during treadmill walking at a comfortable speed for 6 minutes and measured by three conditions (①NoGEMS-free gait, ②Torque off with GEMS, and ③Torque on with GEMS)

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Treadmill walking

Intervention Type DEVICE

All subjects underwent measurements of muscle fatigue and respiratory metabolism energy during treadmill walking at a comfortable speed for 6 minutes and measured by three conditions (①NoGEMS-free gait, ②Torque off with GEMS, and ③Torque on with GEMS)
