What other ones is your stroke hospital comparing this to? Like these 3 posts on soft roboticss? Or these 3 posts on soft exosuit?

A volunteer using the “soft” robot device that can help help stroke patients to walk again

 I bet that volunteer is not a stroke survivor. Left arm would likely not be usable and the left leg is bent too much.

An Irish bioengineer has won an international prize for developing a robotic suit to help stroke patients walk again.

Prof Conor Walsh of Harvard University was one of five individuals to win an enterprise award for research, sponsored by watch manufacturer Rolex. The award includes a cash prize of €97,000.

Prof Walsh (35) is a mechanical and biomedical engineer who completed his primary degree in 2003 at Trinity College Dublin, before going on to complete masters and PhD degrees at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He is the founder of the Harvard Biodesign Lab, a centre that designs “soft” robotic technologies to help augment and restore human performance.
