My daughter has a brain injury and would like to walk normally. She can walk but is very slow and uses a walker. How can we try this thing out?

My husband had a stroke in 2006. He can walk but his right side is weak and he needs some assistance. I am very interested in th Stride management assist by Honda. Can you help me?

[...] Conceptual artist and sculptor Kim Graham has created one of the creepiest prosthetics ever. Inspired by horses and other digitigrades, Ms. Graham built what is essentially a pair of stilts fashioned to resemble legs. The video shows two different views of the legs, one as plain metal, and one with fur covering, obviously intended to make your satyr fantasies come true. Perhaps we can find a way for Peter to try these out too, but he sure seemed to like the powered Honda-legs. [...]

I am 35, 5′10″, size 10 and 1/2 shoe and am mobily disabled, so a perfect candidate for the Bodyweight Support Assist, who do I contact to get involved in a trail?

Just a short 10 yrs. ago, I would have hunted you down and broke several important bones in your sorry body. Other than that, thanks for the feedback, mole.

Yes Ronald it can help. Our government engineers have included an automatic activation button that when verticle postion is comprimised, activates a 120 db alarm that shouts in 76 languages “Help, I’ve fallen and I can’t get up!”

Interesting and probably a big development but still nothing spectacular, for now all trial and error stuff

My son-in-law is 30 and has mild cerebral palsy that affects his walking and balance. I would love to know how to get one of these and have it tested on him. What a wonderful alternative to wheelchairs!

Beleive it or not, my 89 year old mom is too vain to use a cane to walk; she definitely wouldn’t put something on that touches her private areas. My initial impression, outside of the obvious medical application, was for recreation. Walking much longer distances than normally possible unassisted. Hiking assistance (for those of us who are not built physically to do that easily.) Attach a GPS and I’m sold.

I guess it’s also for people like me, reading too much TC and thus have forgotten hoe to walk.

With an aging father who’s suffering from Phlebitis and has limited mobility without pain, as well as a step-mother who’s mobility is impaired due to massive strokes, I would LOVE to see these things hit the market!!

Granted, won’t be in time for my dad and his wife, I hope it’s there for me when I’m old an having a tough time moving as I can now.

Yeah, it would be bad for fat people to use this and get fatter, but imagine what this could do for people who have been stuck in wheelchairs because of things like cerebral palsy or other medical conditions that cause a person to be kept in a wheelchair. I can’t wait to see this on the market.
