世界上不少人由于事故或健康原因而遭受脊椎损伤（SCI）。脊椎损伤主要会影响到个人的行动 ，从而影响他们的健康和日常生活 ，以至于患者不得不依靠他人来进行日常活动。同样，老年化也成为社会现象，导致人的体能逐渐退化并最终丧失行动力。
科学家和工程师试图开发技术移动辅助装置为相关人群提供全面或部分协助。这包括轮椅装置，助行架，拐杖，外部骨骼等。
There is a significant proportion of the world’s population suffering from spinal cord injury (SCI) due to accidents and or health conditions. The main impact of SCI is on mobility of the individual with consequential impact health and daily activities of the individual, where the person may rely on others in carrying out daily activities. Similarly, ageing is a phenomenon that leads to gradual loss of physical capability and hence loss of mobility.
Scientists and engineers have attempted to develop technological mobility assistance mechanisms for either full support or partial (augmented) support of such individuals. These include wheelchair mechanisms, walking frames, crutches, exoskeletons, etc.
英国工程技术学会(IET)会士、英国伦敦南岸大学，工程学院 M. Osman Tokhi教授将向喜爱科学的公众介绍技术解决方案研发的可喜进步，具体包括：
电刺激瘫痪的肌肉作为一种激活运动的手段服务于移动，运动，功能恢复
可穿戴辅助机器人，例如外部骨骼作为全部或部分协助
智能和可重构轮椅装置
Professor M. Osman Tokhi from the School of Engineering, London South Bank University, UK, will describe and discuss a progressive evolution of technological solutions researched and developed. The specific areas covered in the presentation will include
Electrical stimulation of paralysed muscles as an approach for invoking motion for purposes of mobility, exercise, function restoration,
Wearable assistive robots, such as exoskeletons for full or augmented support
Smart and reconfigurable wheelchair mechanisms
