The Hypershell Exoskeleton Thread

[Carl_VivaEspana]

Presents have arrived today, Christmas 2025, new technology.

In this thread I will be covering these main experiences.

a) Exoskeleton usage for almost (but not quite) who have semi-paralysis of the legs only and are over 65 i.e. a medical assistance setting

b) under 65s, fully mobile and chasing personal bests

c) fit, under 65s who want to mountain walk but don't have the natural legs for it .

Please share your experiences here.

I am interested in hearing, however I feel the number of people with exoskeletons to be quite low…

My calves are often wrecked after extreme exercise and the first thing to limit my activity

Doesnt look like this superb gizmo will help???

First testing was against a family member who has suffered a stroke 10 years ago, their arms work, they can stand but can only walk with a shuffle, they need a walker and mobility scooter. Cant climb or decend stairs without a lift or help.

They are however, able to lift their leg by approx 1 inch to engage the software on this wonderful machine.

The hypershell X ultra, set to 50% power in ECO mode was able to enable un-assisted walking on a flat surface, no walker, no wobble, no stick. Pretty remarkable stuff.

This was just a first test, stairs will be next. I would be stunned if the NHS dont already have a trial going.
