Full Description
EksoGT™ is the first exoskeleton cleared by the FDA for use with stroke and spinal cord injuries from L5 to C7. In Europe, the CE-Mark cleared EksoGTTM allows us to work with patients impacted by all neurological conditions and lower limb weakness. The EksoGT™ with SmartAssist™ software is the only exoskeleton available for rehabilitation institutions that can provide adaptive amounts of power to either side of a patient’s body, challenging the patient as they progress through their continuum of care.

To date, this device has helped patients take 100 million steps in over 240 rehabilitation institutions around the world.
