Sci-Fi Looking Robotic Neck Brace Could Help Lou Gehrig’s Disease Patients Lift And Move Their Heads Again
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, better known as ALS or Lou Gherig’s disease, is a neurodegenerative condition that affects muscle strength and control, eventually leaving patients unable to even hold their own heads up. To improve their quality of life, researchers and engineers at Columbia University have created a robotic neck brace that serves as artificial neck…
