Exoskeleton
An exoskeleton is mainly used to help with movement rehabilitation and mobility support.
More specifically, it helps with:
- Walking (gait training): Assists patients in relearning how to walk after conditions like stroke, spinal cord injury, or surgery.
- Muscle strengthening: Supports repeated, controlled movements that build strength safely.
- Improving coordination and balance: Guides proper movement patterns.
- Increasing independence: Helps patients stand, walk, or move with less assistance.
- Neurorehabilitation: Encourages the brain and nerves to reconnect through repetitive motion (neuroplasticity).
The Exoskeletons act like a wearable robotic support system that helps patients move when they can’t fully do so on their own and gradually regain function over time.
