Study Summary
Exoskeletons, wearable devices that assist with walking, can improve mobility in clinical populations. With exoskeletons, it is crucial to optimize the assistance profile. Recent studies describe algorithms (i.e., human-in-the-loop) to optimize the assistance profile with real-time metabolic measurements. The needed duration of current human-in-the-loop (HITL) algorithms range from 20 minutes to 1 hour which is longer than the average duration that most patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) can walk. Because of this limited walking duration, it is often not possible for patients with PAD to reach steady-state metabolic cost, which makes these measurements are not useful for optimizing exoskeletons. In this study, investigators intend to develop and evaluate HITL optimization methods for exoskeletons and use the information to design and evaluate a portable hip exoskeleton. Shorter and more clinically feasible HITL optimization strategies based on experiments in healthy adults might allow utilizing these optimization strategies to become available for patient populations such as patients with PAD.
