Ascend is a wearable robot designed to end knee pain
I tried the Ascend knee brace from Roam Robotics, a robotic knee orthosis that promises to reduce knee pain and help people with osteoarthritis regain mobility. Read more on CNET: Subscribe to CNET: Like us on Facebook: Follow us on Twitter: Follow us on Instagram: Follow us on TikTok:

Hopefully you dont have a bad back as well, by the size of that “smart pack”.

I’m a bit older and experience knee pain after sitting for any extended period of time. This would be great to help get up and get started before the pain works out!

That’s EXPENSIVE yo! And the size of that backpack. you will get back pain if you don’t have it already. Lets see the final production unit when it comes out. Many more iterations before it becomes common place. Good start.

The fact that I’d have to press a button on a remote to sit down is a little weird. But I understand this device is still under development, so it’ll probably get better and some day it’ll become a really great product.

I think it would be better to go to the root source of what’s causing the pain. Using something like this that takes the load off is just going to make the supporting muscles weaker and make your knees even weaker. More likely to have pain.
But for those with serious injuries, I can see this being useful, especially for rehab

Tbh this stuff is the future. Imagine this in 10 years, especially when combined with something like neuralink for paraplegics.

The battery pack can be optimised for old people. But most of them won’t want to carry a bag.

2:08 so this is for your knee right?

I think people rather have surgery than wearing all that gear just to go out.

Yeah I’d rather get the surgery haha, it needs to be at least 3-4 times smaller

LOL. “His grace is enough.” More like, “This brace is enough.”

Very interesting and guess good for some not others as i would be concerned with how it would over compensate then causing more stress on the other knee or back etc, soon as your back goes good luck.
We should all become robots on no wait we can already clone ourselves for its more a morality question

$7000 isn’t that bad. Let’s hope that the project succeeds.
