DEVICE

Exoskeleton

Use a passive assistive hip exoskeleton (alQ, Imasen Electrical Industrial Co., Ltd.) for 30 minutes daily during moderate to intensive activities over a period of 12-weeks. The exoskeleton is designed to aid hip flexion and as such its primary role is to improve gait by increasing step length and improving speed. The amount of time the exoskeleton has been used will be weekly monitored through phone calls and two gait sessions will be conducted to measure the development.
