Effect of Soft Robotic Exosuit Assistance in Healthy People

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
This study aims to find out what effect there is on the difference in energy use efficiency and gait analysis when walking while wearing knee and hip assist robots based on flexible power structures for normal people. Energy consumption efficiency will measure the amount of energy metabolism and heart rate during walking for a set period of time, and for gait analysis, kinetic and kinematic data will be analyzed through 3D motion analysis. In addition, after completing the evaluation, we intend to help in future improvement of the product by collecting usability and satisfaction evaluation and improvements through questionnaires.

Arms and Interventions

| Participant Group/Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
| --- | --- |
| Experimental: Healthy person<br>Healthy person | Device: EXO On, EXO Off, EXO Removed treadmill (Uphill_incline 10°) walking and simultaneous evaluation<br>* - After filling out the consent form for 10 subjects who meet the selection criteria, a total of three evaluations are conducted: one pre-evaluation and one post-evaluation for the knee assist robot and hip assist robot. Pre-evaluation: Evaluation simultaneously with walking on an inclined treadmill (Uphill_incline 10°) for 5 minutes without wearing knee and hip assist robots (speed 1.5 m/s).<br>|

What is the study measuring?
-----------------
Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| oxygen consumption measured | ① Primary evaluation variable - The difference between the amount of oxygen consumption measured before wearing the robot and the amount of oxygen consumption measured before and after wearing the robot [O2 rate = VO2 (ml/min) / kg of body weight, O2 cost = rate / walking speed (m/ min)]. | Simultaneous measurement of variables while walking on a treadmill_up to 24 weeks | 

Secondary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 3D Motion Capture | 3D Motion Capture | Simultaneous measurement of variables while walking on a treadmill_up to 24 weeks |
