Honda will begin collaborative testing of its experimental walking assist device from July 1, 2008, with Shinseikai Medical Group, Kasumigaseki-Minami Hospital (Kawagoe, Saitama prefecture). The Honda Walking Assist Device is created to support walking by the elderly and other people with weakened leg muscles. The compatibility and effectiveness of Honda’s walking assist device will be evaluated during rehabilitation training to help people relearn to walk safely and efficiently.
