Over the kneecap is a protective layer that allows a strap to pull over it, enhancing the quadriceps muscle contraction, pushing the leg out.
The small motors sit on the strap itself, causing the strap to become a sort of external artificial muscle.
The contraction starts when you start pushing
your leg out. and stops at a given maximum. This can easily be adjusted by changing the length of the strap.
