The use of exoskeleton for the wounded was demonstrated in the State Border Service

Physical therapists of the State Border Service are mastering the exoskeleton, which will help to put patients on their feet. This is reported by the State Border Service.

Medics of the state Border service received the first exoskeleton, conducted a short training under the guidance of engineers of the company-developer and have already moved to practical training on its use.

Now, to train the operators, border guard Alexander, who is also undergoing treatment after a wound but has no problems with the musculoskeletal system, has agreed to be a patient. Therefore, physical therapists can practise the skills of operating the exoskeleton without harming the patient," the report said.

Once the training is completed for patients who will need the exoskeleton for rehabilitation, the equipment will begin to be used for its intended purpose.

The acquisition of the exoskeleton was made possible thanks to the European Union's Integrated Border Management Resilience project.

The project is funded by the EU and implemented by the International Centre for Migration Policy Development to meet the needs of the services involved in securing the state border of Ukraine.
