Cheetah tackles the issues mentioned above with a high tech solution: electrorheological fluids are contained in the straps which keep the Cheetah attached to the foot.

Electrorheological fluids can turn from viscous to solid extremely quickly, in response to an electric field.



These fluids are connected to flex sensors along the sides of the product, which detect when the foot is reaching an angle with "high risk of injury".

When that happens, the electrorheological fluids become solid and block the foot in a safe position, releasing this "hold" just as quickly, when the foot stops tending towards a dangerous angle.
