The machine can help with intensive gait training, particularly for people with limited upper body mobility that might prevent using other methods. The current-generation Atalante is a self-balancing, battery-powered device with an adjustable gait that can help with early steps through to more natural walking later in therapy. While the hardware still needs to be used in a clinical setting with help from a therapist, its hands-free use helps patients re-establish their gait, with or without arms. Wandercraft plans to deliver its first exoskeletons to the US during the first quarter.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/wandercraft-atalante-exoskeleton-fda-clearance-stroke-rehab-054521933.html\" data-ylk=\"elm:context_link;itc:0\"><strong>Continue reading.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em>All products recommended by Engadget are selected by our editorial team, independent of our parent company.
