Italian exoskeleton gets disabled users walking and standing
A new robotic exoskeleton could allow people who have lost the use of their legs to stand up and even walk. It may also help get them walking unaided again, by guiding their movements and holding them up as they take part in rehabilitative therapy.
Known as Twin, the Italian-designed lower-body exoskeleton was unveiled this Friday during a press conference held at the Museum of Science and Technology in Milan. Retrain mode is intended for patients who still have some lower-limb motor function, as it allows them to walk on their own as much as they're able, but kicks in with an adjustable level of assistance when needed. In all three modes, a physiotherapist or the user themselves can tweak gait parameters such as stride length/type and walking speed via a wirelessly linked Android tablet.
