Abstract
An enhanced mobility wearable article, system, and method includes a rigid frame and a joint between two portions of the rigid frame. A motor is operatively coupled to the rigid frame and causes the two portions to move with respect to one another about the joint. Aa sensory cushioning system is secured to the rigid frame and comprises an airbag forming an interior volume and a pocket, wherein the interior volume is substantially airtight, an internal electronic assembly positioned within the pocket and including a pressure sensor, an external electronic assembly positioned exterior to the airbag, and an interconnect electrically coupling the internal electronic assembly to the external electronic assembly. Control circuitry is configured to operate the motor based, at least in part, on an output of the pressure sensor.
