The e-motion from Alber is a power assist for manual wheelchairs. While propelling manually a sensor measures the push and amplifies it thanks to the integrated noiseless motors with lithium battery technology. e-motion enables wheelchair occupants to overcome long distances and steep hills more easily.

Paraplegic persons need a wheel chair to move. Using wheel chair, their ADL can be independent, but there are many physical problems caused by long-term use of wheel chair. And many paraplegic persons have strong wish to walk again. To prevent these problems and realize their wish, gait reconstruction is needed.

Previously, the orthoses such as HGO or ARGO have been used to reconstruct the gait of paraplegics. In Japan, Primewalk is the most popular as the orthosis for paraplegia. Primewalk is bilateral knee-ankle-foot orthosis with a medial single hip joint. Because hip joint of Primewalk is located between lower extremities, Primewalk has many merits; free trunk, realization to wear independently, and compatibility with wheelchair.

But Primewalk still has some problems; high energy consumption and difficulty to stand up and sit down independently. To solve these problems, we started to develop a new robot for gait reconstruction for paraplegics in 2005. This system is called WPAL ( Wearable Power-Assist Locomotor ).

WPAL has six degrees of freedom on the bilateral lower extremities. Six motors are located on the bilateral hip, knee, and ankle joints. WPAL has medial hip joints which is similar to that of Primewalk. We designed WPAL in which orthotic part and robotic part is removable each other, because orthotic part should be manufactured individually to maintain suitability for the lower extremities, and robotic part should be standardized for mass production. The gait pattern is designed to imitate a gait of healthy volunteer with joint-free Primewalk.

Eight patients have joined the clinical trial to use WPAL, and all of them came to be able to walk independently using WPAL. The best user, who is 32 years old and whose injury level is TH 12 (ASIA B, motor complete), can continuously walk 500 meters in 30 minutes. The data of clinical trial shows that energy consumption and the load to the upper extremities of WPAL is lower than that of Primewalk.
