The C-Brace is a knee only exoskeleton.

It is a medical orthotic device that monitors the swing phase of the leg and provides actuation at the knee. According to the manufacturer, the C-Brace opens up unforeseen possibilities in the field of neuro-orthopaedics. Outfitted with flexible cuffs and D-rings, the carbon frame provides a rigid exoskeleton that stabilizes the knee joint. Flexible sub-shell and adjustable tibial strap capture the tibia and allow adjustment in hinge depth for a more customized fit. When one drives a car, there is a feeling that the car has become an extension of the user’s body and that the driver and the car are one inseparable entity.

However, with an automobile, there are a few features that distinguish it from an ideal exoskeleton. First the car’s interface is not transparent. Levitation is the only knee brace that significantly reduces forces in all three compartments of your knee.

Pressure increases throughout the knee when it is bent, reaching up to seven times bodyweight.

Equipped with a patented bionic hinge, Levitation absorbs bodyweight and assists with leg extension. Knee-ankle-foot orthosis (KAFO) allows someone living with paralysis (usually Land above) to stabilize the knee and ankle. While it’s very hard work, people using KAFO’s, even those with no hip flexion, can take steps by swinging their legs while supported by forearm crutches. There are many types of KAFOs, including plastic and metal braces.

Though other “bionic body parts,” including knee and leg exoskeletons , have been developed over the years, the Levitation is designed to be the first consumer-friendly bionic brace in terms of both price and function. If you have experienced a severe lower limb injury, perhaps even limb salvage surgery, you may be wondering if you will ever get your life back. You may have tried traditional ankle-foot orthoses (AFOs) but still experienced limited movement or pain. Roam envisions a different worl in which lightweight and affordable robotic exoskeletons and orthoses become a new category of consumer electronics—and a commonplace part of modern life.

We build devices that expand the boundaries of human mobility for all people. The BioNEEK brace is for knee support which has a magnetorheological damper which has the function of absorbing shock. RoboKnee design showing knee brace and Series Elastic Actuator. The joint position and velocity are deduced based on the actuator stroke and linear velocity, measured with a linear encoder. This makes them a great alternative to knee surgery.

The robotic knee recently debuted by Tsukuba University …not so much. While the knee has some impressive stats: it only weighs kg (~lbs). The RoSE brace can be used as a tool for both characterization of the forces and the resulting changes in curvature of the spine. An exoskeletal knee brace consisting of an elastic element engaged by a clutch is used to provide this stance phase extensor torque.

Motion capture of five subjects is used to investigate the consequences of running with this device.
