Japanese robot suit to let paralysed move again
‘Japan’s Matsushita company on Wednesday unveiled a robotic suit, eyed to be marketed in two years, that will help people who are partially paralysed rehabilitate the rest of their bodies.
When a person who suffered a stroke moves his or her active arm while wearing the suit, the paralysed other arm will make the same motion by stretching and bending compressors that act as muscles.
By repeating the arm movements, the person wearing the robotic suit can train to regain use of his or her limbs, the designer said.’
