But is this better than Kickstart? Why doesn't your competent?doctor know that answer? And almost a decade in doing nothing I bet!
Do you prefer your doctor and hospital incompetence NOT KNOWING? OR NOT DOING?

Abstract: Study evaluated the feasibility of using a hip-flexion exosuit to aid paretic limb advancement during inpatient rehabilitation after a stroke. Fourteen post-stroke individuals received three to seven 1-hour walking sessions with the exosuit over one to two weeks in addition to standard care. The exosuit assistance was either triggered by physical therapists (PTs) or based on gait events detected by body-worn sensors. Clinical (distance, speed) and spatiotemporal (cadence, stride length, swing time symmetry) gait measures were assessed with and without exosuit assistance during the 2-Minute Walk Test (2MWT) and 10-Meter Walk Test (10MWT). Sessions were grouped by the assistance required from the PTs (limb advancement and balance support, balance support only, or none) without exosuit assistance. PTs successfully operated the exosuit in 97 percent of sessions, of which 70 percent assistance timing was PT-triggered to accommodate atypical gait. Exosuit assistance eliminated the need for manual limb advancement from PTs. In sessions with participants requiring limb advancement and balance support, the average distance and cadence during the 2MWT increased with exosuit assistance by 2.2 meters and 3.4 steps per minute, respectively. In sessions with participants requiring balance support only, the average speed during the 10MWT increased with the exosuit by 0.07 meters per second. Clinical and spatiotemporal measures of independent ambulators were similar with and without the exosuit. In this study, exosuit assistance removed the burden of manual limb advancement from the PTs and resulted in improved gait measures in some conditions.
