Cyberdyne's Medical Exoskeleton Strides to FDA Approval

Forward to a friend View web version   Join IEEE   7 February 2018 Cyberdyne's Medical Exoskeleton Strides to FDA Approval Cyberdyne, a Japanese robotics company, is changing the game in physical rehabilitation. It has just gotten approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to begin offering its HAL (Hybrid Assistive Limb) lower-body exoskeleton to users in the United States through licensed medical facilities. Strap HAL onto your own legs; sensors attached to your leg muscles detect bioelectric signals sent from your brain to your muscles telling them to move, and then the exoskeleton powers up and provides an assist. → Read more Download Whitepaper: Simplifying In-Vehicle Testing with the EX1401 DAQ System This whitepaper describes a flexible, cost-effective, stand-alone datalogging solution that prevents the loss of critical data.
