This paper uses simulations to predict optimal exotendon designs for reducing running energy costs at higher speeds and validates these predictions experimentally.

This study investigates how adding mass to different lower-limb segments affects peak knee contact forces during walking, finding that foot mass increases forces more than thigh or shank mass.

This paper uses simulations to predict energy savings from exotendons at 4 m/s, finding that longer, stiffer designs offer greater savings than shorter, more compliant ones.

The paper personalizes a computational upper body model to improve kinematic tracking in arm movements, showing reduced tracking errors in both static and dynamic poses.
