    The problem is that you can’t comfortably anchor it to the body in a way that lets you put so much force on it. Putting weight on an amputation stump hurts.

    Exoskeletons, on the other hand, are in development. They have working ones, but they don’t work well enough for general use yet. And there’s the problem of safety: you need to make sure you don’t exceed the limits of the user.
