The Popular Science website posted an article representing the future of legs for walking assistance. In the future, wheel chair is no longer needed. I just wish they can develop it a lot faster and make it useful for sports person like me so I can still play basketball just like I'm 18. Here's why."The first, which looks a bit like an industrial-strength garter belt, is called "Stride Management Assist" (there will doubtless be a renaming process before the devices come to the U.S. market). It secures around the user's waist and grips each thigh. Then, by monitoring the angle of the hips, it calculates the wearer's stride and provides helpful force -- not exactly moving your legs for you, but what the makers call "cooperative control," lengthening the stride and regulating the pace of walking."
