Hello All,
I have a patient who is extremely interest in exoskeleton technology. She is a veteran who was injured while jumping out of a truck in Iraq and as such has had low back, hip and leg problems as a result. She currently wears bilateral hip orthoses and a left knee brace to stabilize her joints but would also benefit from some fort of offloading as it would reduce the pressure in her low back. Is anyone aware of any studies or R&D which she might be able to participate in. she is willing to travel as needed.
Thanks
Nathanael Feehan, LPO
