The ReWalk is a wearable exoskeleton that combines robotics with human assistance to make walking possible for individuals with spinal cord injuries.
Controlled through a combination of body movements and commands from a remote wristband, the ReWalk enables individuals with SCI to sit, stand, and walk.
At Helen Hayes Hospital, specially-trained therapists guide patients in the use of the ReWalk in therapy and at home.
Participating in exoskeleton therapy restores independence, increases psychological well-being, reduces pain, and improves overall health and fitness.
Use of the ReWalk has been clinically shown to reduce complications from spinal cord injury, including thinning of the bones, spasticity, pressure sores, and bowel and bladder dysfunction. It also increases cardiovascular function and contributes to overall weight loss and a decrease in body fat.
