After trying on and taking off the device, some users feel that their legs become heavier (a common sensation), and some may even worry that the product hinders muscle training. Could long‑term wear lead to muscle atrophy?Updated 3 hours ago
The sensation of heavier legs occurs because, while wearing the exoskeleton, the activation level of the leg muscles is reduced. When the device is removed, the muscles do not immediately return to their original activation state, which creates the subjective feeling of increased leg weight. This actually indicates that the exoskeleton has produced a genuine positive assistive effect.
Currently, no scientific evidence has demonstrated that exoskeletal assistance causes muscle atrophy. On the contrary, for individuals with limited mobility, the exoskeleton can expand their range of motion, thereby activating and strengthening certain muscle groups during movement, which ultimately improves their motor performance. Additionally, this product offers a fitness mode. Compared with conventional training methods, this mode allows more precise control over target muscle groups for exercise, and does not negatively affect muscle conditioning.
