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

This study finds that using an exotendon reduces peak knee compressive contact force during running without affecting shear forces or other joints.

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.
