Exoskeletons have shown great potential to enhance locomotion by augmenting the lower limb. While most research has focused on steady-state ambulatory activities, the ability to assist transient, ballistic tasks is also important for understanding the potential of exoskeletons in mobility enhancement. In this preliminary study (N = 5), we developed an individually-customized control strategy to as...
