Haptic suit aids stroke rehabilitation

All I could think of when seeing this was, is it the Americanized version of the Regent suit from Russia?, only from Jan. 2011 so these people should know about it.  But progress anywhere is good, just get it into therapists hands.

Haptic suit aids stroke rehabilitation

Engineers at Arizona State University discuss the "haptic suit," a wearable technology for improving stroke rehabilitation. The suit contains motion sensors and provides real-time instruction and feedback to patients. The suit is being developed at ASU's Center for Cognitive Ubiquitous Computing (CUbiC) with funding from the National Science Foundation's Innovation Corps (I-Corps) program. I-Corps prepares scientists and engineers to extend their focus beyond the laboratory and broadens the impact of their basic research projects. Produced by Alexander D. Chapin and Kirk Davis, Office of Knowledge Enterprise Development.
