Up to now, short walking durations of robot-assisted gait (up to 7 minutes) seem less energy consuming and cardiorespiratory stressful than walking without robot-assistance. However, what the influences are of longer walking durations is not clear. In addition, it is also unclear why possible differences between robot-assisted gait and walking without robot-assistance might exist. One possible explanation might be that differences in spatiotemporal gait parameters are responsible for differences in energy consumption and cardiorespiratory load.
