Walking Assist Devices: Stride Management Assist
When walking is a struggle, you need a leg up. And that’s literally what
Honda’s prototype Stride Management Assist device is designed to
provide. A motor helps lift each leg at the thigh as it moves forward and
backward. This helps lengthen the user’s stride, making it easier to cover
longer distances at a greater speed.
Bodyweight Support Assist
Imagine how much easier it would be to perform a physically demanding
activity with a “lighter” body. That’s the effect achieved by the prototype
Bodyweight Support Assist being developed and tested by Honda.
Honda’s second experimental walking assist device helps support
bodyweight to reduce the load on the user's legs while walking, going
up and down stairs, and in a semi-crouching position. This could lead
to reduced fatigue and less physical exertion.
