After inventing ReWalk Robotics exoskeleton that helps paraplegics to walk, robotics has now come to aid the people suffering from spinal cord injuries. A robotic device has been invented by Indian scientists sin Columbia to help people with spinal cord injuries that can cause loss of mobility and sensation. This device is called Trunk-Support Trainer (TruST) and will train and support the patients to sit more steadily by improving their trunk control by strengthening it and acquiring an active sitting space enabling them to sit without falling over or using their hands to balance it. This will allow them to gain and expand the sitting place of around 25% around their bodies.
