Robot Suit HAL
Robot suits have been
developed in Japan. They help weak muscles as well as normal muscles of
the extremities. So they strengthen the muscles but not the bones. These
robots might endanger the osteoporotic bones, particularly the
vertebrae.
Thank you Judy Gnarpe for alerting me to this wonderful rehabilitation device developed in Japan!
