AMBL
A prosthetics garment improving mobility
Mobility aids are currently static and standardised. Their designs haven't evolved over the years to address improving mobility, but rather force the body to overcompensate elsewhere, simply furthering deterioration.
The Assistive Mobility Bioelectronic Layer uses muscle sensing and actuation embedded into a comfortable garment and explores how the body could be leveraged to help itself recover.
AMBL supports and offloads weight from the knee when walking by using electromyography and electronic muscle stimulation to create customisable dynamic support.
