Remarkable New Exoskeleton Makes Your Walking More Efficient

For those suffering from muscle atrophy, weakness, or injury, walking like normal is pretty much out of the question. The latest exoskeletal technology aims to change that. By copying and pasting the Achilles tendon and calf muscle into a mechanism that attached onto the leg, researchers created a leg brace that allows muscles to work as highly efficient motors, rather than clutches. The result: walking is easier, less taxing on the tendons, and doesn’t take as much energy as it typically would.
