That's a great video. Are the users expected to regain some of the walking ability in the future by using these machines ?

Btw, what kind of motors go into these ? they look funky :)

Thanks! We have done some case studies where we have found improvements in walking. However, the primary case is that by using this device to walk at home everyday, kids can avoid many of the complications that may arise from sitting, i.e contractures, hip subluxation and other issues.

We will be conducting clinical studies to evaluate the effectiveness of our device in helping reduce some of these complications.
