TWIN
(project ref. number: PR19-RR-P1)
The lower limb exoskeleton that allows spinal cord injured patients to walk independently. The strengths of this robotic device are his ease of use, his wearability and his portability.
In a short time TWIN will become a tool for clinical and rehabilitation use, with the possibility of providing feedback on the state of health of the patient being treated, of monitoring the main physiological parameters, also for safety purposes and of producing specific reports on progress and results, and customizing the route.
