Randomized crossover study of a passive military load-carriage exoskeleton in 8 Singapore Armed Forces personnel: in-shoe ground reaction forces during static standing under 0-55 kg loads and treadmill walking (flat/incline/decline, 25/35 kg), with and without the device (Applied Ergonomics, 2024). The NIE Data Repository deposit (CC BY-NC 4.0) contains processed summary tables, not raw GRF time series.
