Roam Robotics Forge pneumatic robotic knee brace system
The Roam Robotics Forge robotic knee brace system produces torque by forcing air through lightweight actuators instead of using electric motors at the joint. A power pack with a rechargeable MIL-STD battery and ergonomic back support is worn on the back. The hardware is ruggedised for military use, with 3D-printed aluminium parts. The US maker says Forge is currently being tested with patients who have advanced knee osteoarthritis.

Who the Roam Robotics Forge suits
Forge is built for military personnel and others doing physically demanding work on their feet. Its use for advanced knee osteoarthritis is still under evaluation, so medical use is not established and any such use should be decided with a clinician.
This kind of device is prescribed and fitted by a clinician. An enquiry starts that conversation. It is not a purchase.
