But this is now a thing of the past: a novel suit fitted with 41 sensors is finally ready for commercialisation.

Whilst these clinics effectively help patients to face post-stroke everyday life, stakeholders tend to agree that a better understanding of how these people function in the absence of medical support could lead to more effective rehabilitation at a lower cost.
