The full body suit, comprising 58 electrodes that send mild electrical stimulation to 40 key muscle groups, the suit is designed to relax spastic muscles, thereby helping people move more easily or walk.
A life-altering high-tech body suit helped a woman with multiple sclerosis walk with ease.
Earlier this year, a YouTube video was released by Ottobock Professionals — a German company that develops medical technology products and treatment concepts for people with limited mobility in the fields of prosthetics, orthotics, and human mobility.
