MIGLOBAL and New Health Technologies

Robotic exoskeleton

Losing any motor skills can have different and hard consequences in the everyday life of the patient. Depression, loss of productive capacity and other psychological and social disorders can be devastating and difficult to manage. Today, MIGLOBAL will show you details about new technologies that are changing those people’s way of life: the robotic exoskeletons.

New help and new technologies for the patients

The use of exoskeletons to assist in the mobility of those patients has not only the obvious health benefits related to the topic, but gives a new sense of autonomy to those affected, while decreasing stress levels in their families.

Robotic exoskeletons are wearable armors that help people carrying weight that they could not carry walking for long distances. These new technologies allow the affected to do so with less effort, multiply their force and provide other benefits that were originally designed as military use, but thanks to the vision of medical professionals working into this branch, these technologies are now used to help people with motor diseases to regain their independence.

Cardiovascular accidents (also known as stroke) and brain or spinal cord injuries are some of the status for which a patient may lose the ability of their skills and that can be served greatly from these new robotic technologies, which are placed on the body or somewhere specifically, assist the person in carrying out routine activities in order to make their lives more healthy.

Other type of robotic exoskeleton to carry weight

The physiotherapists help those affected with straps tying their arms or legs to bionic suit as well as a rigid brace around the waist, and with the use of crutches the person can stand and walk as soon as they feel ready. Weight sensors in the suit perceive changes balance that the body makes when walking, sending the message to the skeleton to take a step, and the intuitive mechanism helps the person to walk as normal as possible.
This robotic exoskeletons are not only helping a patient in their everyday activities, but also their families, who can feel in the best conditions to star living a new healthy life with their relatives.
