Ins't there a risk that the exoskeleton produces muscular atrophy?

  I'd imagine the Army would still require its soldiers to do physical training without the suit. Commercial applications would start where atrophy is a moot point--like for the elderly and disabled, in Japan.

    You could also avoid atrophy by forcing the person to a base level of work. Basically, you do all the work to start and then the machine takes over once you are lifting 10 pounds, so 50 pounds might feel like 15, and 100, like 20. Not only would this prevent atrophy, but it would also extend battery life.

  Do a system that could work in "reverse", like the whole body workout gear Bork used at his sister's house in "Brother Death".
