The research with the Honda Walking Assist Device will begin in early 2019 at the OSU School of Health and Rehabilitation Science, with results anticipated the following year. The lightweight, robotic device is intended for use by people who can walk, but have gait deficits due to stroke. Worn orthotically on the user's waist and legs, it facilitates more efficient and symmetrical walking patterns, enabling the patient to walk faster and farther. Honda is not currently commercializing the product in North America and has not announced plans for the device at this time. Honda R&D Americas, Inc. Operating 14 facilities in the United States, Honda R&D Americas, Inc. (HRA) was incorporated in 1984 after beginning operations in California in 1975.
