A Columbia Engineering team led by an Indian scientist has invented a robotic device that can be used to assist and train people with spinal cord injuries to sit more stably by improving their trunk control gaining an expanded active sitting workspace without falling over or using their hands to balance. Spinal cord injuries (SCI) can cause devastating damage including loss of mobility and sensation. We designed TruST for people with SCIs who are typically wheelchair users. We found that TruST not only prevents patients from falling but also maximises trunk movements beyond patients' postural control or balance limits said
