EksoNR
EksoNR - Robotically assisted exoskeleton for active mobility and postural stability
EksoNR is a robotic-bionic exoskeleton that has been specially developed for use in rehabilitation facilities. The battery-powered system is worn over clothing and enables users to stand and walk safely by means of electric motors that move the legs and thus supplement or completely replace the deficient neuromuscular function.
EksoNR is also suitable for the therapy of people who are completely paralyzed or severely affected. It supports patients in neurorehabilitation on their way to achieving possible progress back into their normal lives, whereby aids can be reduced, but complete independence is not guaranteed, Therapy at EksoNR not only promotes the ability to stand and walk, but also the functional balance, cardiovascular function and gastrointestinal and bladder function of users.
Therapy in the EksoNR can also be combined with functional electrical stimulation (FES), which can increase activity, endurance and mobility potential and significantly reduce any spasticity that may occur. Depending on the therapy goals, needs or daily condition, the level of support provided by the motors can be selected individually, even for each leg separately.
Our latest highlight, which can be tested at any time, is a VR headset that enables virtual walks on the beach with the exoskeleton.
Advantages of exoskeleton gait therapy:
- Safe movement through the room
- Support for posture
- Natural gait pattern
- Monitoring and regulation of the motors using highly sensitive sensors
- Data acquisition for individual evaluation and adaptation of the therapy
Success stories:
- After the accident and due to her spinal cord injury, Susanne was only able to walk with the help of two people, and only for a few steps at that. After several months of intensive gait therapy at EksoNR, Susanne can walk several meters on her own with walking aids, which means an enormous increase in her independence.
- Until a few months ago, Martin could hardly put any weight on his right leg; it had been very weak since the stroke and Martin was afraid of falling. In robotic gait therapy at EksoNR, Martin learned to rebuild the standing function in his right leg and to put weight on it in everyday life.
