Could you build this?

No This is a physical medical orthotic device with cable mechanics that must be designed, prototyped, and regulated as a medical device.

What it would actually take: Building a real version requires mechanical and biomedical engineering to design the adjustable cable system and fit for gait, followed by prototyping, clinical testing, and FDA or equivalent medical device clearance. Manufacturing and orthotist fitting channels are also required, none of which software can substitute for.
