I might be missing something here, but this Hypershell thing seems like a terrible idea. It’s difficult for me to stress how horrible this appears to be. To be clear, I don’t mean that it won’t work. It probably will, at least if you define “work” narrowly, and briefly, enough. It appears to provide lift/press assistance to the upper leg. But there are two problems with that. The 1HP (peak) output is going to load through the section of your leg that it attaches to, which has the potential to create repetitive stress injuries. But the bigger issue is likely to be the shear forces across the lower back.

Physics is cruel. Nothing is free. In order to create push, you need to have something to push against. While it is true that they are mitigating that load using a structural belt, those twisting, torquing, pushing forces will still load the back and pelvis and the thing that will suffer the most will probably be the lumbar spine. Given the target demographic for this product (people who find walking difficult); it’s likely that they won’t have the fitness or expertise to use it safely. Ouch…

Equipped with Hypershell Omega, you can go further, climb higher mountains, run faster, and carry more along the way, or simply walk with less effort. Say goodbye to sore legs after shopping, visiting museums, theme parks, and exhibitions. From a mountainous trek to a day at the museum, Hypershell provides power and strength to those who need it, when they need it.
