Advanced Mobility Aid Addresses Failings of Current Devices

Researchers from the Medical Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (ARMC), Sheffield, UK, are developing an advanced mobility aid that could change the lives of millions of disabled people. With funding support from the Royal Marines Charity, Conquering Horizons called in the Medical AMRC — part of the University of Sheffield Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre with Boeing — to assess whether the concept was feasible and to create the beginnings of the design.
