Are there open source community for all things biomedical devices ? even partial exoskeleton (not joking, looking for practical attempts to help elders)
Most of this stuff is still a bit too expensive for DIY, Festool have an ExoActive exoskeleton that might be repurposable - though I think it's designed mostly for holding weight above the head.
There is the 'body braid' that is probably more suited for the tasks that the elderly have trouble with.
