What are the benefits?
Walking Distance
Functional Balance
Gait Speed
Some exoskeletons are designed to be used as an assistive device and provide 100% of the power needed to walk. EksoNR is revolutionary in that it requires active participation designed to help re-teach the brain and muscles how to walk again.
Under the supervision of our Ekso-trained physiotherapists, the EksoNR could help you to:
- Learn to stand from a sitting position,
- Learn to walk while maintaining a natural gait pattern,
- Stand for longer and walk further during your therapy sessions,
- Improve your mobility, independence, gait speed, walking distance and balance when you are not using the device, and
- Improve your cardiovascular fitness
EksoNR also offers dynamic real-time data. This feature helps your physiotherapist measure your progress and adjust your program to get closer to your goals.
