Awesome Tips Road Testing 'Real World Iron Man' Robotic Exoskeleton Boots
Created by Stanford University’s Biomechatronics Lab, these ankle exoskeletons are designed to give you a motorized boost as you walk, offering more power to people with muscle weakness and mobility issues. Claire Reilly powers on the boots for a test run (and finds out what happens when they’re turned up too high).

With my health issues I could use something like that
Y’all should check out Biomotum from NAU, their exo looks a lot more developed as a product
The iron man reference is all wrong. This is much closer to what Logan wore in the TV series Dark Angel.
Momma says they my magic shoes and they take me anywhere
This is, in reality, stupid. Weightlifting bulks up muscle, by constantly and repeatedly, tearing muscle tissue. The repair process then adds more on to help since constant tearing is a sign of heavy use thus the body reacts by meeting the need.
Similarly, bones get stronger through impact. Putting them under stress causes the body to react similarly. It makes them fractionally stronger each time to meet the need.
Of course, both processes only work within reason. Doing too much abuse is like overdoing anything, toxic.
Still, astronauts lose massive amounts of muscle and bone mass because the body is an efficiency machine. If they aren't constantly tearing their muscles and impacting their bones under the pressure of gravity, they quickly lose them.
Walkers, scooters, iron man shoes may have niche uses, but an overuse of them further disables people because, while they assist people, they assist people in atrophying.
An injury can mean a need for support. Most people using these things just have atrophied muscles and bones. It would benefit them much more to have physio to get them back up to strength.
So, instead of making a shoe that takes over for the work, why not make a shoe that helps a person build muscle? For many older people, it can be dangerous to excersize when their muscles reach a certain point of atrophy. Their legs giving out from under them becomes a real concern. Maybe some gear that allows them to strengthen themselves in a safe manner until they can build enough muscle to be more stable on their own would be a much better tool.
Designed to help no one. Thanks!
I was waiting for her to dunk a basketball.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣looks pathetic and nothing like ironman lame👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼
It would be good if they did it for us spinal cord injuries to walk
What motor is used for this?
Wow this is moving along more quickly than I expected
You can't call them boots, that's against Stanford's new word restrictions. You need to call them walking assists.
Make them fit to the legs like stockings and sell them to nurses and first responders ***
.o o
Ok so I have ALS, and this would help tremendously. I want to know how to get a pair or at least find out how to try them out….
I'd far more be interested in a device I would help me regain even a little more muscle strength rather than take away what muscle strength I have
I need those for my mom who has MS.
Need a Exoskeleton for maCock !
It would also be awesome and a huge benefit to people who were in a coma for many years fun fact your muscles tend to atrophy in a coma well due to lack of movement it's why they need rehab afterwords
Woahhhhhhhhhhh that's amazing 🙀
Coll idea but too expensive
Mein Fuhrer, she can can walk
– some random friend of Kubrick
Crappest demo of anything ever. 🤣🤦
Reckon it'd be any good for people with Claudication?
I want a set like Chel's from portal to reduce fall damage.
I have got most strongest and bulky calf muscles in my entire town as I like workout of legs day most in my gym schedule…people used to ask me..what are you going to do with those big calf muscles?
Now i know how useful they are in walking and running
The real world iron man suit has been made by numerous peoples contributions to the end game.
