The 'Space Walker' is an innovative gait-assisting machine designed to help individuals, particularly stroke patients and the elderly, regain mobility and learn to walk by providing dynamic partial weight support and fall prevention.
Conceived as a Master's thesis by Warath Sitlaothaworn, the prototype evolved into a commercial product through university research, winning awards, and receiving support from the TED Fund.
Produced by Medicubed Co., Ltd. under the WOKA brand, over 200 units have been sold, offering an affordable and accessible solution for at-home rehabilitation across Thailand, including rental options.
This device addresses the growing number of stroke patients and the needs of Thailand's aging society by enabling safer, independent exercise at home, reducing the reliance on hospital visits.
