ReWalk Robotics touts Harvard-led Restore soft exosuit study
ReWalk Robotics (NSDQ:RWLK) today released results from a study of a soft suit exoskeleton system designed to aid ambulatory stroke patients, touting that the system was able to facilitate normal walking ability in patients. The study was authored by researchers at Harvard University’s Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering and Boston University, and utilized a prototype that Marlborough, Mass.-based ReWalk Robotics plans to commercialize as the Restore system. Results from the study were published in the Journal of Science Translational Medicine. The Restore system is designed to transmit power to ke...

6 brain-controlled devices helping people regain movement
[Image from Amy Leonard on Flickr]People who have lost feeling in their limbs or have lost the ability to move them may soon have those sensations restored thanks to a slew of recent brain-controlled device innovations. While we are moving toward less invasive methods like electrode-filled caps on the head, there are still more invasive implants that are benefiting those who suffered from a stroke or a serious spinal cord injury. From mind-controlled exoskeletons to robots reading your mind, here are 6 brain-controlled devices that are moving robotic arms and helping people become mobile again. Next >> The post 6 bra...

ReWalk inks collab deal with Harvard to develop “soft” exosuit
ReWalk Robotics (NSDQ:RWLK) said today it inked a collaborative research with Harvard’s Wyss Institute to develop a lightweight “soft suit” exoskeleton system for lower limb disabilities. The collaboration looks to design a suit to treat stroke, multiple sclerosis and mobility limitations for the elderly as well as other applications. Through the agreement, ReWalk will pay Harvard in quarterly installment payments to fund the research, with reports from the research being relayed between the groups on a regular basis. ReWalk Robotics will be able to negotiate with Harvard to license new inventions create...
