The Parker Indego™ Powered Orthosis

This brief video introduces Parker’s Indego™ exoskeleton, a device that enables people paralyzed from spinal cord injuries to stand, walk, sit and climb stairs. Indego™ has a slim profile and weighs only 27 pounds, so it can be assembled and dis-assembled easily and worn while sitting in a low-profile wheelchair, providing an unprecedented degree of independence. The exoskeleton was designed by a team of engineers at Vanderbilt University’s Center for Intelligent Mechatronics. Par
