Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed a wearable textile exomuscle that serves as an extra layer of muscles. They aim to use it to increase the upper body strength and endurance of people with restricted mobility.

It is hopeful to see these technological developments being made for people with disabilities like me. At the moment I cannot use my arms and advances like this one can help me with my independence, it can't be soon enough!

@fairwearth690 Год назад

I would absolutely love to purchase one of these. I have post COVID arm, shoulder, elbow, wrist and finger pain that won't go away, in spite of physio, exercise and massage therapy. This would help me a great deal as well as so many others like me I have met who have the same kind of debilitating pain in their upper bodies.

Hello, please advise whether this device has been launched in market and available to purchase? Thank you 🙏🏻

I have been hunting for this for years, describing what I need for my arms and you have created it. I hope it comes out of the testing stage soon. I would have loved to have been a test subject for this

It looks like a very good concept, and it would definitely help people with the mobility issues

When and where can I try this it would change my life!

@JasonToddRoberts 2 года назад

I would love to try one. I have a torn rotator cuff that won't heal.

Looks promising

Very cool. As with almost all mobility-tech, I hope to see it used by all and not just those with some limitations. I do notice what looks like rubbing of the cable on the back of the arm. I assume that will cause discomfort and will be addressed in later revisions.

Interesting project, but that string looks bulky and frayed. Perhaps consider using Dyneema string which has great properties, e. g. very high tensile strength, low weight and uv resistance.

I love when a project got built in months/years by a team of researchers, have tons of detail, iteration, tests, and someone on the internet is giving them an advice right after watching a 1 minute demo video. I truly hope your advice will help them improve their project.

The worst thing is that this technology will not only serve people with reduced mobility, it will also serve armies and people who do not need it, and this will also burden ordinary citizens with fiscal costs in energy consumption and in the raw materials used in these devices.

Possibly, but most technology only advances or moves into the mainstream if governments put in a lot of money, i.e. military use, that will allow a company to reach economy of scale necessary to make this affordable to everday people.
