These robotic legs can even walk up steps, up or down slopes. Rex has been designed with maximum comfort and stability. Rex does not require any additional supportive aids such as crutches. The device is self supporting allowing you to keep your arms and hands free to use.

How the Brain Can Hide Problems with Vision and Movement
Show Date & Time: 6 December 2011, 1:45 pm
People with stroke, Parkinson Disease and its “cousins”, Huntington Disease, traumatic brain injury and even disorders like Alzheimer Disease can cause trouble with using tools well; with mobility in the arms and legs for dressing, standing, walking, and other basic tasks; and with functional vision for navigating in the home, neighborhood or in new environments.
More challenging than these limitations is the fact that most people with these problems are not fully aware of their own errors. Some sufferers will completely deny that they are weak or have problems with movements or vision, which can dismay and embarrass family members. Evidence seems to indicate that their inability to see mistakes is more than a protective psychological reaction, but is part of the brain disorder itself.
In this segment, we will talk about why the brain “fools us” into thinking our functional vision and movement is normal in the presence of neurological disease, and what this means for professional caregivers, families, and our medical culture and society, since patient self-reporting is now a major source of information about public health needs and treatment efficacy.

How the Brain Can Hide Problems with Memory, Communication and Thinking
Show Date & Time: 6 December 2011, 1:31 pm
People with diverse conditions such as Alzheimer Disease, stroke, multiple sclerosis, traumatic brain injury, psychiatric problems like schizophrenia, or even movement problems like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Lou Gehrig’s Disease) or Parkinson Disease can lose the ability to remember facts and names, to communicate clearly or with well-articulated speech of appropriate volume, and to regulate and schedule tasks. These challenges pose a direct obstacle to function and freedom, but are even more difficult for sufferers because the brain usually cannot monitor and identify what’s wrong—the sufferer may be the last one to know.
Many sufferers will state with confidence that their memory, speech and language, and thinking is normal. Evidence seems to indicate that this is more than a protective psychological reaction, but is part of the brain disorder itself. In this segment, we will talk about why the brain “fools us” into thinking things are normal when we make memory, communication, or thinking slips—and what this means for professional caregivers, families, and our medical culture and society, since patient self-reporting is now becoming a major source of information about treatment need and efficacy.
