Project title: Fabric-embedded Dynamic Sensing for Adaptive Exoskeleton Assistance
(20-057-YAN-XPD; approval date: 04/17/2020)

  • UMass Lowell researchers are conducting research investigating how exercise-induced physical fatigue affects human performance with or without wearing powered leg braces/boots.
  • This study has three components of testing. Each component of the testing will involve 1-4 testing sessions and each session will take about 2-5 hours to complete including rest breaks and setup. You can choose to participate in one, two, or all components of the testing if available.
  • You can take part in this study if:
  • You don’t have history of neurological problems, major leg, or spine that limit walking, running, or performing mobility activities
  • You are free of illness or any medical condition.
  • You are between 19 and 39 years old.

Gift card will be provided at the rate of $15/hour to compensate for your time spent in the study.
