“The FallGown is a soft wearable support structure consisting of pressurized pneumatic pouches within a fabric shell; it can support the full weight of a user's body and aims to prevent falls. It is portable (6.9 kg and 0.051 m3 when stored), minimally burdensome (7.24-20.8 N drag force depending on floor type and whether an optional rolling base frame is used), and convenient (less than 2.5 minutes on average to don”
