Symbitron project - a wearable, assistive exoskeleton

Symbitron project - a wearable, assistive exoskeleton
EU CORDIS June 2018
  • The Symbitron project - started in the Netherlands in 2013 and involving an international project team from Switzerland, Italy, Iceland and the UK - has been working to restore partial movement in those with spinal cord injury. 
  • It has done this by designing a unique wearable, assistive exoskeleton that helps to activate the neuromuscular system, which is believed to improve motor recovery. Inspired by how the body itself works, this safe, personalised man-machine interface is responsive to both the user and the environment.
