Kickstart
- New Technology to Help Stroke Survivors Walk
Something for you to discuss with your therapist. I know going to your doctor with your ideas on how to get better goes against the whole medical establishment. And mine dismissed my ideas/questions. But hell, stroke rehab is a complete failure, we can't do any worse. I know this showed up in Stroke Survivors Tattler this weekend but it needs all the exposure it can get. Originally inspired by a horses leg; Technology was licensed to Cadence Biomedical:
Device Inspired By A Horse’s Leg Aims To Help People With Weak Hips Walk ConfidentlyThe Kickstart orthosis is a new class of self-powered exoskeletons designed to enable walking and accelerate rehabilitation for those recovering from neurological injuries such as stroke, spinal cord injury, and traumatic brain injury, as well as degenerative diseases such as MS, muscular dystrophy, and ALS. It’s designed to help users regain and maintain independence with less reliance on walkers, canes, and wheelchairs and without the expense of robotic devices.
