Assistive Mobility Exoskeletons

The 'Exoatlet' Skeletal Support System Boasts a Motorized Frame

— July 21, 2017 — Lifestyle
Exoskeleton technology like the 'Exoatlet' Skeletal Support System seen here offers distinct hope for those who have mobility impairments that they will one day be able to stand upright and move without the need for wheelchairs or walkers.

Designed by Art Lebedev, the exoskeleton consists of a somewhat subtler design aesthetic than that of other options and is designed with natural, fluid movements in mind rather than choppy robotic ones. This allows the user to feel more in control, natural and supported.

The 'Exoatlet' Skeletal Support System is an effective piece of equipment for those with musculoskeletal disorders to let them walk with better balance and actually improve their performance in tandem. The exoskeleton identifies that mobility issues could be permanently corrected in the near future by implementing effective solutions like the one seen here.
Trend Themes
1. Assistive Mobility Exoskeletons - Exoskeleton technology offers hope for individuals with mobility impairments to stand and move independently.
2. Fluid and Natural Movements - Exoskeletons with fluid and natural movements provide users with a greater sense of control and support.
3. Musculoskeletal Disorder Solutions - Exoskeletons are effective equipment for individuals with musculoskeletal disorders, improving balance and overall performance.
Industry Implications
1. Healthcare - The healthcare industry can leverage exoskeleton technology to improve mobility and independence for patients with mobility impairments.
2. Manufacturing - Manufacturing companies can explore the development and use of exoskeletons to enhance worker performance and reduce the risk of musculoskeletal injuries.
3. Disability Assistance - The disability assistance industry can adopt assistive exoskeletons to support individuals with mobility impairments and provide greater independence.
