« on: 07/02/2009 22:38:43 »
I've seen something like this on a TV show called 'Beyond Tommorrow'. They were using it in hospitals to help nurses and doctors lift heavy patients. It had air tight bags around leg, arm and back muscles. When wearing it, it detects which direction your arm or leg is moving within the suit using pressure sensors. The air tight bags inflate and deflate like a muscle tightens and relaxes, this in turn amplifies the muscle strength allowing the doctor to seem superhuman with strength.
