Effects of robotic exoskeleton control options on lower limb muscle synergies during overground walking: An exploratory study among able-bodied adults

The effects of lower limb (L/L) control options, developed for overground walking with a wearable robotic exoskeleton (WRE), on the neuromotor control of L/L muscles [i.e., muscle synergies (MSs)] during walking remain uncertain. To gain initial insights regarding the effects of different control options on the number of MSs at the L/L and on their muscle weighting within each MS when walking with a WRE. Twenty able-bodied adults walked...
