Just one look at the next-generation lightweight, soft exoskeleton for children with cerebral palsy reveals the powerful role technology can play in solving global challenges and improving lives.

Built to help children walk, MyoStep addresses motor impairments that severely restrict children’s participation in physical activities, and academic pursuits, leading to developmental delays, social isolation and reduced self-esteem. It is lightweight, discreet, made of and wearable technology, and tailored to fit seamlessly into the lives of children and their families.

The MyoStep soft exoskeleton is introduced in IEEE Electron Devices Magazine by a team from the NSF UH Building Reliable Advances and Innovation in Neurotechnology (BRAIN) Center, an Industry–University Cooperative Research Center (IUCRC) and TIRR Memorial Hermann.
