ABLE Exoskeleton

Robotics

What is ABLE Exoskeleton?

The ABLE Exoskeleton, developed by ABLE Human Motion, is an adjustable robotic exoskeleton designed to assist individuals with spinal cord injuries or gait abnormalities in rehabilitation.

The technology device is lightweight, quick to adjust, and accessible for neurorehabilitation, incorporating the latest advancements in robotics, electric motors, manufacturing, and wireless connectivity to enhance patient outcomes and promote neuroplasticity.

Who Can Benefit From Using ABLE Exoskeleton?

Patients:

The ABLE Exoskeleton offers crucial benefits for neurological rehabilitation, especially for our clients with neurological conditions that affect their movement and mobility, such as spinal cord injuries at levels C5 to L5. It actively assists clients to stand, walk, turn, and sit down.

It offers both immediate support for daily activities as well as long-term functional benefits, such as bladder and bowl function, cardiovascular health, spasticity, and flexibility.

Through this cutting-edge technology, we can speed up recovery progress, support clients achieve greater movement independence, and enhance their day-to-day quality of life.

Clinicians:

The exoskeleton provides our clinicians with a powerful neurotechnology tool that can deliver more effective and personalised treatment for their clients.

How Does ABLE Exoskeleton Work?

The ABLE Exoskeleton’s adaptable features allows our clinicians to integrate the neurotechnology device into personalised treatment plans within our multidisciplinary therapy team.

Key features:

• Lightweight: Enables clinicians to manoeuvre the exoskeleton to and from the clients’ body more effectively

• Adjustable: Allows clinicians to fully customise the height and size of the exoskeleton to the client’s requirements

• Smooth Walking Pattern: Uses patented backdrivable actuator technology to mimic natural walking patterns, promoting brain and muscle functions

• Turning Assistance: Supports our clients navigate tight spaces, such as hallways, with ease and precision

What to Expect

The exoskeleton forms part of a rehabilitation programme for lower-limb weakness. It is usually used in conjunction with conventional lower-limb neurological rehabilitation rather than in isolation.
