Abstract:
A variety of implementations, building off one another, of a device that mechanically provides energy to muscles used throughout the gait cycle. The mechanical power is provided by elastic bands, or similar material. The different implementations presented introduce more components which provide adjustability in many aspects of the device including how it fits the user, increasing comfort for the user, and providing customized tension levels, thus customized assistance, in the different segments of the device thus to the different muscle groups in the lower extremity.
