A lightweight wearable developed with the participation of a team at Beijing-based , has shown promising results in helping children with spinal muscular atrophy improve knee strength and mobility, according to research published in Nature.π€
Weighing just 0.96 kg, the robot maintains optimal muscle tension throughout movement, and uses a gamified interactive system to support high-intensity rehabilitation training. After six weeks, participants demonstrated stronger muscles, improved movement and enhanced nerve function, highlighting the potential of intelligent rehabilitation robotics in healthcare.π₯°
