Human locomotion on ice: the evolution of ice skating energetics through history
... The use of klapskates employed nowadays implies a movement which, in terms of push-off mechanics, is slightly different from that of jumping (or running). In fact, no flexion of the metatarsal joint occurs: the ankle is ...

Exotendons for assistance of human locomotion
... Most of the benefit of exotendons derived from the fact that the ankle plantarflexor and hip flexor moments in walking both reach their peak at the end of the stance phase (Figure 3). The rotational movements in the ...
