The grant recipient, Results Group, LLC, is a small disadvantaged business specializing in advanced assistive technologies and rehabilitation devices, with a focus on innovative exoskeleton-integrated systems. The project aims to reimagine mobility solutions for this population, leveraging exoskeleton technology to improve rehabilitation, enhance mobility, and facilitate return to daily functioning. This federal grant award builds on Results Group's existing portfolio of disability-focused research and development projects, which have received funding from various civilian agencies, including the Defense Health Agency and the National Institute of Nursing Research.
