An exoskeleton boot that enables the wearer to walk 9 per cent faster than with normal shoes, and with 17 per cent less effort, has been revealed by scientists. <\/p>\n
Created at Stanford University, the robotic footwear comes with a motor that works with calf muscles to give the wearer an extra push with every step.<\/p>\n
The precisely-timed motor controls the boot so that it imparts a ‘torque’ \u2013 a twisting force that can cause rotation around an axis \u2013 at the leg joint. <\/p>\n
The new creation could be widely used in everyday life, by people with mobility impairments or with physically demanding jobs, for example. <\/p>\n
