Tek RMD, provides the opportunity of movement for people with paraplegia by enabling them to independently stand up in a completely upright position with correct posture, facilitating their movement and comfortable completion of their daily tasks indoors, such as in the home, office and shopping mall. Tek RMD is not an alternative to wheelchairs, it is a totally new concept, a new platform.

Wow, and this is developed in Turkey! I have a patient, a young boy from Sweden, who was here just a few weeks ago, who was injured by a polio vaccine at the age of 1, which left him with very little core body strength, he got Polio from the vaccine IMO. I think this particular device would benefit him greatly. No doubt, if we somehow avoid a total collapse of society, we are just in the early stages of developing robotic devices, that will help disabled people live normal lives. I will go and check this device out soon, maybe I'll start importing these to Scandinavia. Heck with my background in mechanical engineering and chiropractic I could even help them develop the concept... They are in Istanbul, not very far from me!

Thank you so much for this info Serpo. Greatly appreciated!
