Ekso Bionics Holdings, Inc., a robotic exoskeleton company, announced today that it will be exhibiting at The 4th International Spinal Cord Society (ISCoS) and American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) Joint Scientific Meeting, taking place May 14-16, 2015 at the Fairmont Queen Elizabeth Hotel, Montreal, QC, Canada.
Ekso Bionics will be featuring live demonstrations of their patented rehabilitation exoskeleton, Ekso GT™, and experts will be on hand at booth #10 to discuss the clinical applications.
"With the Ekso GT robotic exoskeleton, clinicians in leading rehabilitation facilities around the world can provide gait training for a large number of patients, with a range of lower extremity weakness. Ekso GT exoskeleton is unique in that it allows for the robotics to work with human effort, and not simply replace it," said Nathan Harding, chief executive officer and co-founder of Ekso Bionics. "This is just one of the reasons we have seen adoption and utilization significantly increase in the past year. In fact we just hit 21 million steps taken world wide by individuals with lower extremity weakness."
Ekso Bionics' exclusive Variable Assist software automatically adjusts robotic support based on patient capability for optimal training, which enables therapists to work with individuals with varying amounts of lower extremity weakness including stroke, SCI and other similar conditions. This feature is specifically designed to engage patients by challenging their abilities as they progress.
Ekso Bionics designs, develops, and commercializes exoskeletons, or wearable robots, which have a variety of applications in the medical, military and industrial markets. Over 125 Ekso GTs, the company's medical exoskeletons, are available to patients in nearly 100 leading rehabilitation centers all over the world and has enabled those living with a variety of lower extremity weakness to take over 21 million steps not otherwise possible.
