Questionnaire 1 is composed of four sections. Sections 1-3 utilize ranking systems to seek participants’ opinions
on the importance of sample upper-, lower- and full-body motions to the performance of their usual daily activities.
Examples of common tasks in which each motion may be performed are provided based on technical complexity of
the assistive exoskeleton needed to support them. In each of these sections,participants may also add additional key
motions which arenot listed, includingtheir rankings.
Section 1 asks participants to rank a list of 15 lower-body motions in terms of their importance in helping with
their personal mobility (1 being most important, 15 being least important).The motions listed have previously been
ranked in order of importance by older adult end users in a European survey carried out within the EXO-LEGS
project (AAL Call 4 Project); therefore the present study will further validate these results in samples from
additional European countries.
Section 2 asks participants to rank
