From: Rehab Management - 02/24/2016

Two studies presented during the recent Association of Academic Physiatrists
Annual Meeting in Sacramento, CA highlight what may be benefits of wearing a
robotic exoskeleton.

In the first study, researchers from The University of Texas Health Science
Center at Houston (UTHealth), TIRR Memorial Hermann, and Texas Women's
University suggest that walking with a robotic exoskeleton may help enable
people with multiple sclerosis to walk more efficiently by reducing the
energy and muscle activity needed to walk.

In the second study, researchers suggest that motor skill training using a
robotic arm exoskeleton may be beneficial to people experiencing post-stroke
weakness affecting an entire side of their body.
