Existing exoskeleton legs that aid a paralyzed person in walking require the use of crutches for enough upper body support for the individual to remain upright. The goal is to allow the individual more functionality and independence to use their hands in places like the kitchen, workstations, upper body physical training, shopping and more. While there are exoskeletons being developed to ease with work place fatigue, day to day exercise, these are designed for the able bodied person and are not cost effective and readily available to the paralyzed population in the US.
