A novel knee exoskeleton for overweight person

Overweight person experiences 2.9-4.7 times load of the bodyweight at the knee joint during walking. Research has shown that two main muscles which are vastus medial and gastrocnemius muscles contribute to the stressing of the knee joint during walking. In this research a light weight exoskeleton...

Research has shown that two main muscles which are vastus medial and gastrocnemius muscles contribute to the stressing of the knee joint during walking. In this research a light weight exoskeleton consisting of a frame and a compression spring with mechanisms for adjusting compression of the spring is developed.
