Watching their children take that first step is a memorable moment in the life of every parent. It’s a magical moment that parents will never forget. But unfortunately, not all parents can watch their kids take those first steps.
Not all children get to take their first steps in life as babies, or ever in some cases. Fortunately, technology is constantly developing, and new solutions are being explored to help children who have mobility problems. The Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) along with their technology-based business unit, Marsi Bionics in Madrid, have made exceptional progress in this field.
They have developed developing an exoskeleton that consists of five interconnected motors on each leg. The system is meant to stimulate muscles so that legs can ultimately move naturally. Leaving the innovative aspect aside, this technology will ultimately impact people’s lives and possibly change them for the better.
The video below shows five-year-old, Alvaro, using the exoskeleton prototype to help him walk for the first time in his life, and it’s a definitely a special moment you’ll want to see!
This is definitely something you need to see to believe, so take a look and don’t forget to share!
