Marsi Bionics
60 million people in the world have lost walking ability. 17 million are children affected by a number of neurological diseases. While wheelchair bounded, they suffer from a number of physiological and psychological side effects. Their quality of life could be largely improved if walking could be repaired, restored or rehabilitated. Marsi Bionics works towards this goal.

Reasons to collaborate
It is a current need to have a device that allows these children walk effortlessly and so to delay (or even avoid) related complications.
