The ADELI Suit is derived from a suit originally designed for the Soviet space program in the late 1960s[1] that was first tested in 1971.[2] The purpose then was to give the cosmonauts in space a way to counter the effects of long-term weightlessness on the body. The ADELI Suit is currently used to treat children with physical disabilities resulting from cerebral palsy, other neurological conditions originating from brain damage or spinal cord injury.[citation needed]
