For one pilot participant (n = 1), walking with Real-world Optimized assistance reduced the metabolic cost of walking compared to Normal Shoes during several additional treadmill conditions. These results suggest that Real-world Optimized assistance may perform well during a wide range of common walking activities. The conditions were walking at 1.25 m s−1 on a 5° incline, walking at 1.5 m s−1 while wearing a vest weighing approximately 20% body weight, and climbing stairs at a rate of 50 steps per minute. These results are not included in the main text due to their preliminary nature compared to the primary study outcomes.
