Cyberdyne Medical HAL Lower Limb Review Summary
Sensors on the skin pick up the faint bio-electrical signals that occur when the wearer intends to move, and the device then assists that movement, which the wearer feels. Cyberdyne presents this loop as supporting neuroplasticity. Three models cover adults of 150 to 190 cm and, with the ML07, children from 100 cm and 15 kg. The double-leg device weighs about 9.5 to 14 kg and runs about one hour per battery. The ML05 and ML07 have FDA 510(k) clearance and all three carry CE marking; indications differ by country. This is a clinical device used under professional supervision.
