Neural Sleeve, a bionic piece of clothing by Cionic designed to help with walking and strength, is among the 200 devices on Time magazine’s annual list of best inventions, under its accessibility category.
The lightweight, leg-worn device, which combines continuous motion analysis with functional electrical stimulation, was cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use by people with foot drop and leg muscle weakness due to multiple sclerosis (MS) or other conditions in 2022.
“It’s an honor to be recognized among the leading global innovators who are transforming healthcare,” Jeremiah Robison, Cionic’s founder and CEO, said in a company press release.
