From: Medical Design Technology - 11/20/2013

Honda announced today that a clinical research study of its Walking Assist
Device has begun at the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago (RIC).

At RIC, physical therapists and researchers will perform a scientific
assessment of the ability of the Honda Walking Assist Device or Stride
Management Assist (SMA) to improve the mobility of patients who have
experienced a stroke. This will serve as the first large scale clinical
research study on the Honda Walking Assist Device to take place in the US.

The Honda Walking Assist Device is worn outside of clothing and consists of a
stylish frame and battery-powered compact motors designed to assist people
with reduced walking ability due to injury, illness or other causes.
