ReStore Exosuit is intended to improve ankle movement by aiding the ankle plantarflexion and dorsiflexion during physical therapy thereby improving the patients recovery time (Hastings, 2020) . The system consists of a waist belt that houses motors connected to cables, which is then linked to a sleeve on the patient's calf and insole. (Hastings, 2020). The system relays information to a physical therapists smart device which can then be used to modulate amount of force applied, depending on the user's progress (Hastings, 2020).]]> 2020-09-25 21:56:43 UTC https://padlet.com/dina024/jv42bj7tymne0i39/wish/780842444 ReStore's Three Modes of Function: Assist, Slack, Brace dina024 https://padlet.com/dina024/jv42bj7tymne0i39/wish/780869265 Demonstration of modes and how assist mode improves gait speed and symmetry.

  • Proven improvement in unassisted walking speeds in clinical trial
  • Proven improvement in gait pattern in clinical trial
  • Low rate of device malfunction
  • Proven safety and reliability in clinical study
  • Graphic display of patients progress via smartphone that is monitored by a trained physical therapist.

  • The weight and bulk of the device is considered to big for some users.
  • The price per device is 65,000-85,000 and is not yet covered under insurance.
  • There needs to be a larger study to better assess its safety and efficacy.
  • The FDA has cleared the device for home use, but the safety of home use without a physical therapist has not been established.

I believe it will greatly improve the speed of recovery, reduce long-term gait impairment and improve quality of life for many patients suffering from hemiparesis. I do worry about the safety of individuals using this at home without the guidance of a physical therapist because the device could increase fall risk due to its bulky size and long cables. The price is not yet feasible for many rehab facilities, but in the future it may be more affordable due to insurance coverage. ]]> 2020-09-25 22:52:58 UTC https://padlet.com/dina024/jv42bj7tymne0i39/wish/780897372 Teams dina024 https://padlet.com/dina024/jv42bj7tymne0i39/wish/780906465 Abraham- arranger
    This would be a complicated innovation to work with and figuring out how the application works with the device would best be investigated by this executive strength.
    Daisy- developer
    The party using the device may expect results faster than they actually occur and somebody gifted with this relationship building strength would be able to spot every small improvement the patient is actually making.
    Isaac-ideation
    If the patient was having difficulty using the device in a productive way, then somebody with this strategic thinking strength would be able to come up with an idea that could help the patient use it more efficiently.
    Matthew- maximizer
    A person with this influencing strength would be able to focus on the strengths that the device is offering and inspire the therapists and patients to strive for even more improvement.
    Rachel- restorative
    With any device, one can expect technical difficulties as well as operational struggles at the therapist level. Somebody with this executive quality would be able problem solve to come up with the best solution.]]>     2020-09-25 23:02:45 UTC https://padlet.com/dina024/jv42bj7tymne0i39/wish/780906465     References dina024 https://padlet.com/dina024/jv42bj7tymne0i39/wish/781014378 Hastings, C.
