Being unable to walk quickly can be frustrating and problematic, but it is a common issue, especially as people age. A new ankle exoskeleton allowed users to walk, on average, 42% faster than when ...

Engineers at Stanford University are developing a prototype ankle exoskeleton to help people walk faster. That may sound like another weird novelty gadget, but it's designed for the serious purpose of ...

Being unable to walk quickly can be frustrating and problematic, but it is a common issue, especially as people age. Noting the pervasiveness of slower-than-desired walking, engineers at Stanford ...

H-MEX exoskeleton helps paraplegics walk, climb stairs, stand up and sit down. It works. H-WEX makes it easier to lift workplace weights without injury. With the two, Hyundai is throwing its hat into ...

A new robotic hip exoskeleton could help stroke patients improve their walking stride, a new study shows. More than 80% of stroke survivors develop problems walking, often because their step is ...

Being unable to walk quickly can be frustrating and problematic, but it is a common issue, especially as people age. Noting the pervasiveness of slower-than-desired walking, engineers at Stanford ...

A team of researchers has shown that physical intervention plans that included exoskeleton-assisted walking helped people with spinal cord injury evacuate more efficiently and improved the consistency ...

As people age, their speed in walking often deteriorates which can be a frustrating experience. Engineers at Stanford University noticed the pervasiveness of not walking quickly and have tested how a ...

In lab tests, researchers found that an optimized ankle exoskeleton system increased participants' walking speed by about 40 percent compared with their regular speed. The researchers hope someday to ...
