Should be available now so your therapist should have it in stock.

LOPES (LOwer-extremity Powered ExoSkeleton)
is a 10-year old project from the Netherlands’ University of Twente
whose goal is to develop a robotic device to assess motor skills and
assist in teaching stroke victims how to walk again. Unlike traditional
rehabilitative devices such as leg braces, or even the upcoming ReWalk,
the newest version of LOPES allows for eight degrees of freedoms, which
provides the legs better movement and less confined therapy.
LOPES
researchers hope to get the device into rehabilitation clinics by early
2012, with a mid-2012 target for introduction into the market.
