What is an Exoskeleton?

An exoskeleton is a wearable robotic device designed to assist patients with walking and movement, even if there is limited or no control in your legs.

By providing powered support to the legs and body, it enables patients to stand, walk, and regain movement patterns that promote rehabilitation.

Our hospital offers state-of-the-art exoskeleton technology as part of our commitment to advanced rehabilitation care. With expert guidance from our physiotherapists, patients can experience improved strength, balance, and independence, helping them take meaningful steps toward recovery.

Two types of the exoskeleton are available at the centre, the Ekso GT, which offers full body support and the Indego, which extends to waist height.

Once the patient is fitted into an exoskeleton, straps and braces secure the device to the body and sensors track movement. The exoskeleton detects the user’s movement intention (e.g  shifting weight forward) and provides motorised assistance to complete each step.
