Exoskeletons move into real-world use in rehab and industry
Original: The dawn of the age of the exoskeleton: wearable devices are showing real-world benefits for users across rehabilitation
Wearable exoskeletons are entering practical use, with reports of real-world benefits for patients in physical rehabilitation as well as workers in logistics and heavy industry. The devices, once confined to research labs, are being credited with helping users regain mobility and reducing physical strain on the job, marking what observers call the dawn of the exoskeleton age.
Why now: Exoskeleton technology is maturing from prototype to practical deployment, drawing fresh attention to its benefits in medicine and industry.
