@@RedLoveShow Look, the dream of being able to control our computers and devices with our thoughts is not the same as Neuralink.

I have a comment for the cameraman. As myself a basketball player twice tore my ACL and twice got my ACL Reconstruction surgery, knee pain and swelling was two to three time weekly occurrence. Only at 29 I got my knee PRP Injection from Regenexx. And my God after two months of physiotherapy I am back to jogging and excercising without any pain or swelling. But I stopped all contact sports from my second injury. But this robotics is good for Senior citizens and I see mysef using it for hiking.

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

point taken, however if you do PT you know there are limits to what muscles can do when people have a long history of osteoarthritis and other joints than the originally affected are already showing signs of OA too because of longterm compensation. If you said this was a useless tool then you would also have to argue that artificial joints are a scam and I would believe, at least in a certain number of cases, knee and hip replacements absolutely make sense and can give people a new quality of life.

@@PiyushRaj-fv2yl Nope, I'm not kidding. A product like this is specialized. So it will be expensive, as it cannot be mass-produced (like, say, a wheelchair). If you watch this video carefully, you will find that to function properly, this product will have to be customized according to the customer's needs. That is because everyone on this planet has a different body, posture, and attitude. Because of this tailored-to-fit nature, these products are expensive and will remain expensive. Just look at those prosthetic legs, arms. A prosthetic leg of moderate quality will cost you around $5000 and upwards. And even at this price, they will last around 3 to 5 years. Then you have to replace them, either entirely, or at least some parts of it. I know about these products very well as I research them a lot. My mother is suffering from osteoarthritis for decades. I hope that someday I can give something like this machine and see her smile again. An actuator-based and portable system like this product made me feel positive about that hope.
