"TECHNOLOGY THAT MAKES LIFE EASIER FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES"
ReWalk Exoskeleton is an assisted walking device for paraplegics with spinal cord injury. It is intended to be used by people with spinal cord injuries at levels from C7 to L5.
The ReWalk Exoskeleton is a wearable, powered assistive device, a so-called "robotic suit" that allows paraplegics to stand, sit and walk independently, using crutches to assist with balance. ReWalk facilitates movement, and with its work, it imitates the human step by turning the joints when moving.
Necessary prerequisites to be able to use ReWalk:
- Height in the range of 160-190cm
- Weight less than 100kg
In addition to the above, the pressure and bone density of the potential candidate are also monitored.
The ReWalk is intended for personal use at home or in the community, and for use in the hospital so that patients can practice and prepare for using their personal ReWalk at home.
