Cross-country skiing with exoskeletons could give broader population access to winter sports.
We propose a preliminary approach based on a mechanical analysis starting from the kinematics and then incorporating the kinetics and constraints.
We analyze how to safely bind the exoskeleton, skis, and user for safe use. The resulting requirements seem achievable.
