Ekso Bionics — Wearable Exoskeleton Rehabilitation

About

Ekso Bionics is a pioneer in wearable robotic exoskeleton technology for people with neurological conditions. Since 2005 the company has developed powered exoskeletons that support upright posture and provide motorised leg movement, enabling people with paralysis or severe weakness to stand and walk. Their devices have been used in clinical research and rehabilitation worldwide.

What It Does

The EksoNR is an FDA-cleared robotic exoskeleton used in inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation after spinal cord injury, stroke, acquired brain injury, and multiple sclerosis. The Ekso Indego Personal is designed for home and community use by individuals with spinal cord injury at levels T3–L5, enabling supported walking in everyday environments including shops, parks, and community spaces. Ekso's website provides a Centre Locator to find rehabilitation programmes near you, as well as detailed clinical information, patient stories, and guidance on insurance coverage.

Who It Helps

Ekso Bionics' exoskeletons are used by people with spinal cord injury (paraplegia), stroke survivors with lower-limb weakness, and individuals with acquired brain injury or neurological conditions affecting ambulation. Both clinical programmes and personal-use pathways exist, making the technology accessible across different levels of rehabilitation readiness and financial circumstance.
