Veteran Andrei Semikashev, who had his right arm seriously injured during the special military operation in Ukraine, has been fitted with an EXAR 34 exoskeleton designed especially for him.
Within a few weeks after starting to use the exoskeleton, the officer was able not only to lift his arm, but also to pick up a mug and even use a screwdriver.
Semikashev went to the front as a volunteer. During fighting he was seriously wounded and his right arm was severely damaged. But thanks to the help of the developers of the EXAR-34 exoskeleton, he can now move his arm freely and he has been able to return to his profession of a construction worker and has enrolled in an art studio.
"The exoskeleton relieves the arm, let's say it cancels out gravity. That's why even a weak muscle impulse helps me lift my arm and perform movements that were impossible after the injury. With its help, I was able to do various everyday things, even use a screwdriver," says Andrei, explaining how the EXAR-34 works.
