This is a WPSimpleViewerGallery Today, Honda unveiled its second walking assistance device, which looks to be a stunning breakthrough. The device makes walking a whole lot easier by supporting the users body weight which takes off a significant weight load. I can see this device helping the elderly people get around. Part of the struggle with the older folk is supporting their own weight when walking. This device will make walking around town, going up and down stairs, and getting around a whole lot easier. As Honda states, “The new walking assist device with the body weight support system reduces the load on leg muscles and joints (in the hip, knees, and ankles) by supporting a portion of the person’s body weight. The device has a simple structure consisting of seat, frame, and shoes, and the user can put it on by simply wearing the shoes and lifting the seat into position.” Honda will now begin testing this device at its Saitama Factory this month, so lets hope to see this device hit the medical shelves soon. Check out the video below for a demo. [Via LikeCool]
