Biomechanical study of the performance of a passive exoskeleton and its impact on the human body

Mawashi是一家加拿大公司，该公司开发并销售了一种名为“exoadion”的新产品，用于增强人类表现，该产品由一种适应每个士兵自身的轻质金属结构组成（美国专利号：US 20150366694，12/ 2015）。这种外骨骼提供了一种帮助，以减少士兵的体力劳动，同时携带负载。该研究项目的目标是量化外骨骼减轻士兵体重的能力，以及在负重时的性能改善。为此，我们将联合收割机结合我们的研究团队的专业知识（生物力学，运动学，运动控制）与最先进的评估和分析设备（仪器跑步机，3D运动捕捉，无线肌肉激活措施）。士兵们将在受控的实验室条件下进行测试，模拟真实的室内/室外情况，同时穿着定制的外骨骼并携带负载。外骨骼性能的量化将有助于Mawashi微调他们设备的设计，并为士兵提供更好，更安全的体验。

Mawashi is a Canadian company that has developed and marketed a new product for enhancing humanperformance called 'exoskeleton', consisting of a light-weight metallic structure adjusted to each soldier's ownbody (US patent no: US20150366694, 12/ 2015). This exoskeleton offers a assistance to reduce the soldier'sphysical effort while carrying loads. The goal of this research project is to quantify the extent of theexoskeleton's capacity to reduce weight on the soldier, and performance improvement while carrying heavyloads. To do this, we will combine our research team expertise (biomechanics, kinesiology, motor control) withstate-of-the-art evaluation and analysis equipment (instrumented treadmill, 3D movement capture, wirelessmuscle activation measures). Soldiers will be tested in controlled laboratory conditions simulating real ofindoor/ outdoor situations while wearing a custom-fitted exoskeleton and carrying loads. The quantification ofthe exoskeleton's performance will help Mawashi fine-tune the design of their apparatus and provide a betterand safer experience to soldiers.
