Ekso Bionics Holdings, Inc., a robotic exoskeleton company, announced today that Arun Jayaraman PT, PhD, Director of Max Nader Lab for Rehabilitation Technologies & Outcomes Research at Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago will present data on recent research on Ekso Bionics' powered exoskeletons for rehabilitation at the 8th ISPRM World Congress in Cancun, Mexico.
Dr. Arun Jayaraman will speak at 9:00 am as part of a workshop on maximizing clinical efficiency by harnessing technological advances. His presentation will be focused on recent findings from two studies on rehabilitation with powered exoskeletons as well as on his early observations on neuro-rehabilitation for stroke patients.
Ekso Bionics designs, develops, and commercializes exoskeletons, or wearable robots, which have a variety of applications in the medical, military, industrial, and consumer markets. Exoskeletons are ready-to-wear, battery-powered robots that are strapped over the user's clothing, enabling individuals to achieve mobility, strength, and endurance not otherwise possible. Ekso Bionics' lead product, EksoTM, is a wearable bionic suit that enables individuals with any amount of lower extremity weakness to stand up and walk over ground. Ekso is forging a new frontier in rehabilitation for people living with the consequences of stroke, spinal cord injury and other neurological conditions affecting gait.
