7:04 am
cope we such a dramatic. impact on your life i just don't see any other option but to cope. i don't want to say embrace what happened but really accept what happened and kind of move forward. a spinal cord injury is. incredibly devastating injury it affects everything from physical strength and everything to when you need to go use the restroom and not being able to look at people and i level constantly have to look up there's so many benefits to being able to stand up and walk aside from just the mobility aspect of it so to be able to potentially experience that and feel those benefits i think is just incredibly exciting. exit wound exits an organization that is at the forefront of technological advancements which are allowing people like rush the opportunity to walk again.
7:05 am
very impressive office you have to thank you we're really lucky to have and it's very cold war and foreign factory really yeah. so this is the suit yes it's basically a wearable robot it takes a person and it can provide torte to their joints where they may. we can't so when i stand i provide torque on my knees so i don't go like this but then the soup provides that and you provide everything else so your weight doesn't actually go through this so your weight goes through you naturally so there's the obvious benefit of allowing that person to be able to stand up but there are the clinical benefits that will wear over for the suit things like your area tract infection bowel movement complications and then things like pressure sores all of those we think we can substantiate that walking getting up and walking is going to help.
7:06 am
so this one here is fresh off our assembly line how's it controlled it looks at various sensors all around the city and when you when you position yourself correctly with your shoulders basically center over your lead foot it knows you want to take another step because it looks kind of unnatural it's suddenly just standing like this turns out people only really do that when they're going to take another step so then it takes another step so how is it used to clinical practice at the moment so right now it's designed for use in a rehab center with a physical therapist the dream of course is that eventually you get those home units and there's a new replacement for him or for the wheelchair time during their day. all russia rides with his parents to use the exit seat and to walk for the 1st time since his accident i've been doing really for it yeah let's go.
7:07 am

7:08 am
so what do you think. i'm really excited to see in the gift position because i am she's to be very attractive in running biking there psyche everything. i think given that side books should be tried i think jim. i think any that comes from technology would be good off the hall from now arash gets to control the exit of suit himself so there's 4 different buttons that would trigger the 1st time any one of the buttons would be the same. lead on the right this is easier is it. because you were more in control yeah it's kind of like i just have to figure out where to go. already the psychological benefits are clear for us it's not normal to be used
7:09 am
creating your head up all the time. feels like you're. part of society a part of your communication and conversations again. you know the future is going to get really exciting just in the bio nick space in general i think you're going to be able to see someone come into an airplane and. in an exoskeleton and sit down and economy seat and you're going to see grandma at the mall and she's going to show off her hip new acts so payments you know she's going to be able to take a walk with her grandkids that she couldn't take it's not far that's what's really exciting is it's really not science fiction anymore. i would like to see this technology go to a point where it replaces wheelchair if not all the time the much of.
