Thanks for the suggestion, but I have read a couple of articles on the “Walking assistant” and I think I will sstill need something to hang on to in order to keep my balance.

Tom, Maybe you should check out Honda's "Walking Assist" machines. I don't know how to get in contact with them, but you could always try contacting some of the reporters that were at their media event in NYC recently.

I am interested in walking assistant. I am disable with a spinal injury. I have been walking with forearm crutches for 30 years, but my shoullders are wore out from the impact of the crutches. I have been thinkig of ways I can walk without leaning on my crutches and jambing my arm into my shoulder. The robot appears to be something I could keep my balance with while walking. Is there a way I could get a hands on demonstration of this product?
