Exoskeleton

About this project

A team of students at TOM:Kazakhstan designed a full-body rehabilitative exoskeleton using orthotics available on the market. On the second day of the Makeathon, Valentina walked unassisted for the first time in 15 years. She promises to continue to use the exoskeleton and hopes that with time, she will be able to regain her independence.

The challenge

Valentina's dream is to walk again.

Who it helps

Valentina was only 25 years old when she suffered a stroke and lost her ability to walk independently.
