Device description
The EvoWalk is a smart wearable leg sleeve that helps people with partial lower limb paralysis regain their mobility. The EvoWalk AI system uses sensors to predict the user’s walking motion and stimulates the right muscles at the right time to help them walk better.
- This personalized, timed muscle stimulation that helps user’s contract their muscles as they walk will not only help them day to day but will also rehabilitate the muscles and neural pathways over time.
- The device has been deliberately designed to be sleek and unobtrusive after the team were contacted by a parent whose daughter refused to wear a similar, less elegant device as it was clunky and had wires sticking out of it. Evowalk can be worn under clothing and is not noticable.
- Although intended to treat foot drop, the device could also be applied to other muscle groups and parts of the body.
