Exoskeleton Use With In Home Functional Activities

Description

The purpose of this study is to observe current exoskeleton users in their home environment to determine the activities of daily living (ADLs) they are able to complete, and to identify the minor adaptations to the home environment that will improve the exoskeleton user's potential for increased independence. This is a pilot study to fine-tune the methods and to determine the feasibility of doing this study on a larger scale.
