For the ISS, you want a rigid lower half with the ability to rotate around the waist. And then a consistent working envelope, which is about right here in front of you. Easy to translate along the handrails. So low torque in the upper joints. Good dexterity in the gloves. It's a big one. The spacesuits that are being used now in the International Space Station by NASA are suits that were really designed in the 70s.
