Pelvic Assist Robotic Device to Help Parkinson's Patients Walk

These fall rates are twice as high as those of adults of comparable age, so improving balance in patients with Parkinson's would provide a major health advantage. Tethered Pelvic Assist robotic Device can help Parkinson patients adapt to pelvic disturbances that can lead to falls.
