Positive and Negative Effects of Muscle Force Assistance on Muscle Metabolic Cost During Normal Walking

Abstract

In this study, we investigate the positive and negative effects of the lower limb muscle force assistance on the lower limb muscle metabolic cost during normal walking. To investigate this study, we perform the mathematical analysis and the simulation. The results of this study show that muscle force assistance can have positive or negative effect on muscle metabolic cost, and that a certain muscle force assistance can have positive or negative effect on a certain muscle metabolic cost, and the extent of this effect. Through this study, we can grasp the positive and negative effects of muscle force assistance on the muscle metabolic cost and the extent of these effects. In this way, we can acquire systematic and effective muscle force assistance fundamental technology that can increase the positive effect and reduce the negative effect on muscle metabolic cost. © 2023 IEEE.
