Walking and running have fundamentally different biomechanics, which makes developing devices that assist both gaits challenging.
Kim and colleagues show that a portable exosuit that assists hip extension can reduce the metabolic rate of treadmill walking at 1.5 meters per second by 9.3% and that of running at 2.5 meters per second by 4.0% compared with locomotion without the exosuit.
