SOME MORE DETAILS
The Basic exoskeletons’ functionalities in various configurations:
Distinctive features (see photo 1):
- Crutches;
- A saddle (a hip cuff);
- Rigid fixing of a hipbone;
- Fastening of basic device’s levers over clothes and footwear from the site of lateral surface of the bottom extremities;
- The basic materials: steel, wood, leather;
- Weight up from 5 kg.
- Provides a support on a saddle and/or crutches in vertical position, at walking and in seat position. Allows rest during transition from a sitting position to standing.
Distinctive features (photo 2):
- Saddle with spherical support;
- Basic levers from the interior of the bottom extremities;
- The basic material: aluminum alloys, leather;
- Weight from 1 kg;
- Provides a support in vertical position, at walking and in sitting position. Allows a rest during transition from a sitting position to standing.
Distinctive features (photo 3):
- Bench backpack with a support on a saddle;
- Saddle with the spherical support, fixed on a belt;
- Basic levers from the interior of the bottom extremities;
- Basic materials: aluminum alloys, leather;
- Weight starting from 2 kg;
- Provides support for a workloads and for a person on a saddle in vertical position, at walking and in sitting position. Allows rest during transition from a sitting position to standing.
