Basically a external support for people who need support (i.e. old people to carry groceries, maybe rehab and so on. With people who suffer from stroke or something like that, there are hypothesis out there that repeated mind and physical actions that correlate will help cause non-specialized nerves or non communicating nerves to communicate (think 2 sides, nerves are firing the same message, sooner or later they might have a line of communication)... or something like that, this really isn't my area of expertise. I think the driving force of this is the retiring baby boomers (i.e. old guys like Dion )
