Deans' stroke musings: Wandercraft unveils world's first self-stabilizing walking exoskeleton

Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.

What this blog is for:

My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

Wandercraft unveils world's first self-stabilizing walking exoskeleton

I can't imagine anyone being able to afford this or have insurance pay for it. They don't say what repetitions are needed in this for you to be able to walk unassisted.

But isn't your competent? doctor already using walking assist devices for your recovery?

Seema Kumar, Matthieu Masselin and Kevin Piette discuss how Wandercraft is developing and manufacturing breakthrough exoskeletons on 'The Evening Edit.'

French company Wandercraft is taking a groundbreaking step forward to give individuals with disabilities a chance to walk again.

The company is using cutting-edge technology to develop the world's first-in-market self-stabilizing exoskeleton.

Displaying this innovation in-studio on "The Evening Edit" with Elizabeth MacDonald, 35-year-old Kevin Siette, who is paralyzed, can remain upright, showing a wide range of motion as he moves on his own.

The battery-operated Personal Skeleton wraps around the patient, programmed by electric motors that receive orders from AI-powered "complex algorithms" to maintain balance and reproduce human motions at all times.

The device builds on engineering and robotic advancements already incorporated in the company’s lead product, the Atalante X exoskeleton, which emulates human walking and provides hands-free multidirectional locomotion. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration in January 2023 cleared the company's Atalante device for use in stroke rehabilitation, and it is currently in use in rehab hospitals and walking centers across the U.S., Europe and Brazil.
