Comments on NASA's X1 Robotic Exoskeleton For Astronauts
'Earth's scientists solved the problem to some extent by devising rigid metallic clothing...'- Edmond Hamilton, 1932. (Read
the complete story)
"Unlike most exoskeletons, which amplify the wearer's actions, it appears that this suit can also be used in the opposite sense; to resist the wearer's motion and help maintain muscle tone in reduced gravity environments."

| "That's right; the 'rehab robot' idea has a lot of adherents. See RehaBot Physical Therapy Robot Proposed and Robot Hand HOWARD Stroke Rehabilitation for examples. These robots remind me of the 2-1B medical droid from the Original Star Wars series, which did surgery as well as rehabilitation on Rebellion troops.
