Paraplegics using Balance Board alongside exosuits to better gain their balance

GN Version 5.0

Mark has a complete spinal cord injury, meaning he has no sensation below his midsection. So when standing in the exoskeleton, he does not know where his balance point is and if he is about to fall over. To help him learn how to balance, he needs feedback. What better way to give feedback than play games. He is using the Wii Balance Board to learn how to position himself and balance in the exoskeleton.
