Sports Training Exoskeletons
Wearable robotic assistance for resisted and assisted movement training.
Lightweight lower- and upper-body exoskeletons that apply programmable resistance or assistance during movement. Athletes can overload specific phases of a sprint, jump, or swing, or offload joints during rehab, merging strength training with precise biomechanical control.
