The thesis of Thijs Tankink explores human-in-the-loop optimization protocols for enhancing gait performance. In his research, he examined a number of assistive technologies, spanning from individually optimized footwear to prosthetic ankle-foot devices. His thesis shows that optimal device settings differ substantially between individuals, while even small differences in settings can already affect gait performance on an individual level. This highlights the need to tune assistive technology to the individual end-user. Curious to find out more? 👉 https://lnkd.in/e9fJYJ7Z
