Brief summary
The aim of this study was to identify the assistance effect of Ankle Assist Robot v1 developed by Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology (Samsung Electronics Co, Ltd., Korea) by comparing 1. gait function during overground gait in three conditions (with robot-assist torque on/with robot-assist torque off/without robot) 2. the energy expenditure during treadmill gait in three conditions (with robot-assist torque on/with robot-assist torque off/without robot)
Interventions
DEVICEAnkle Assist Robot
1. overground walking in three conditions (with robot-torque on/with robot-torque off/without robot). During overground walking, gait function was measured using motion analysis, sEMG, and force plate 2. treadmill waking in three conditions (with robot-torque on/with robot-torque off/without robot). During treadmill walking, the metabolic energy expenditure was measured using a portable cardiopulmonary metabolic system (Cosmed K4b², Rome, Italy).

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change on gait speed in different three conditions | 20minutes | All participants perform overground walking in different three conditions (with robot-torque on/with robot-torque off/without robot) to assess the change of gait speed using a motion analysis. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change on gait function in different three conditions (kinematic) | 20minutes | All participants perform overground walking in different three conditions (with robot-torque on/with robot-torque off/without robot) to assess the change of kinematic using a motion analysis. |
| Change on gait function in different three conditions (kinetic) | 20minutes | All participants perform overground walking in different three conditions (with robot-torque on/with robot-torque off/without robot) to assess the change of kinetic using a force plate. |
| Change on gait function in different three conditions (muscle activation) | 20minutes | All participants perform overground walking in different three conditions (with robot-torque on/with robot-torque off/without robot) to assess the change of muscle activation using a surface EMG. |
| Change on metabolic energy expenditure in different three conditions | 1 hour | All participants perform treadmill walking in different three conditions (with robot-torque on/with robot-torque off/without robot) to assess the change of metabolic energy expenditure using a portable cardiopulmonary metabolic system (Cosmed K4b², Rome, Italy). |
