Since 2010, B-Temia Inc. introduced the design, manufacturing and sales of the KeeogoTM, a wearable assistive walking device for lower limbs. This innovative device has led the company to experience a considerable amount of success, helping many needed individuals to walk again. Whereas the KeeogoTM has experienced great market success and demand, technological hurdle prevents B-Temia from offering an optimum wearable lower limb assistive device to its customers. The KeeogoTM system is very well designed in terms of amplitude and timing of the mechanical assistance to its user, however, it needs improvements in the long term comfort of wearing and operating the device.
