1.1”This practice provides a structure for documenting test methods used to evaluate exoskeleton success criteria during a requested movement task and to ensure the movements can be completed to the criteria specified by the test requestor. The practice describes movement tasks, such as walking, running, transitioning, crawling, climbing, jumping, and combinations thereof, while not wearing and wearing an exoskeleton and while not handling or handling loads. The practice does not describe all movement tasks, types, or methods. Instead, this standard provides exoskeleton manufacturers and users with example movement test procedures for common movement tasks and a method to record movement and test parameters so that movement tasks can be replicated. The practice includes designs for a movement apparatus, and the appendix provides design details.
