Human running motion is a complex motion that not only based on the movement of legs but also needs the entire body to participate in. Therefore, we focused on the upper body, designed a trunk and pelvic rotation assist suit to apply an external force on the chest and pelvis for assisting the running motion, changing the energy flow between the upper and lower body to improve the running efficienc...
