$670,000 grant to advance development of exoskeleton for rehabilitation
juin 24, 2015
Dr.
Edward Lemaire
and his research team have been awarded a $670,000 VIP II grant from the Ontario Centres of Excellence to evaluate and develop the new
ARKE exoskeleton
, in partnership with Canadian company Bionik Laboratories Inc. This wearable robotic suit is designed to help people with spinal cord injuries or lower extremity weakness walk. This exploratory study will evaluate ARKE use within a physical rehabilitation environment to improve physical capacity for people with spinal cord injury and then use this information to refine ARKE so that it is ready for everyday use.
