 Artificial external muscle strap
  (+3)
(+3) 		  [vote for,
against]

Over the kneecap is a protective layer that allows a strap to pull over it, enhancing the quadriceps muscle contraction, pushing the leg out.

The small motors sit on the strap itself, causing the strap to become a sort of external artificial muscle.

The contraction starts when you start pushing your leg out. and stops at a given maximum. This can easily be adjusted by changing the length of the strap.

       [a1] that link is interesting: there are no photos of anyone actually wearing/using the completed device. Maybe they ran out of funds?
