Description
Different use cases for the <>MyoSuit, a technology to support daily live activities, will be developed together with prospective users and implementation guidelines for the most relevant use cases will be established. The user-centred approach will ensure a high benefit for users of the MyoSuit. The MyoSuit is designed to support people with muscle weakness. It works like an additional layor of muscles, providing strength and stability to the knees, hips, and ankles. The user executes the movements and is supported by the device.
