'Robo legs' help stroke victim to walk

Scientists in the Netherlands are using robotic legs to try to improve the movement of stroke patients.
The prototype device is called the Lower-extremity Powered ExoSkeleton, or LOPES, and works by training the body and mind of a patient to recover a more natural step.

Check the video... it is impressive

I wish this kind of information was presented on the news. This type of BREAKTHROUGH needs more attention.

Scott,

Welcome to element14.

The LOPES robotic legs eventually made the rounds to all the big new agencies. CNN, BBC, etc..

However, I agree with you. They should put a bigger emphasis on technology like this. A omnipresent engineering perspective might make out youth want to be technology innovators as opposed to Americas Next Top "whatever."
