Exoskeleton rehabilitation uses wearable robotic technology to support movement and walking practice for people who have difficulty walking independently. By providing assistance through the lower limbs, an exoskeleton can enable repeated, task-specific practice while supporting posture, weight-bearing and stepping.
Exoskeleton rehabilitation can be provided as a focused programme or incorporated into a wider rehabilitation programme alongside Physiotherapy, other therapies and rehabilitation technologies. Your programme is tailored to your individual needs, abilities and goals, with the amount and type of exoskeleton training adapted as you progress.
Our specialist team can use exoskeleton technology alongside conventional rehabilitation to support walking, movement and independence.
Your exoskeleton rehabilitation programme is tailored to your individual needs, abilities and goals. The technology can be incorporated into functional rehabilitation alongside specialist Physiotherapy and other rehabilitation approaches.

An exoskeleton is a wearable robotic device that provides support and assistance to the body during movement. In rehabilitation, exoskeletons can help people practise standing and walking movements that may be difficult to perform independently.
Exoskeleton rehabilitation may be suitable for people experiencing difficulties with standing, walking or lower limb movement following neurological injury or a neurological condition. This may include people following stroke, spinal cord injury, brain injury or with conditions such as multiple sclerosis. Suitability depends on your individual presentation, abilities and rehabilitation goals.
An exoskeleton can provide support and assistance during repeated walking practice, but it cannot guarantee that someone will regain independent walking. Your therapist will assess your individual potential and goals and determine whether exoskeleton training could form part of your rehabilitation programme.
Exoskeleton technology may be appropriate for some people with incomplete spinal cord injury, depending on their level of injury, strength, movement, balance and other clinical factors. An assessment is required to determine suitability.
Yes. Exoskeleton rehabilitation can be provided as a focused rehabilitation programme, with the amount and type of training tailored to your individual needs and goals. It can also be incorporated into a wider rehabilitation programme alongside other therapies and rehabilitation technologies.
Your therapist may use recognised outcome measures to establish a baseline and monitor changes throughout your rehabilitation. Measures may include walking speed, walking distance, balance, mobility and goal attainment, depending on your individual programme.
Exoskeleton rehabilitation is available at selected Hobbs Rehabilitation centres. Availability and the most appropriate location will depend on the exoskeleton technology required and your individual rehabilitation needs.
Yes. An assessment is required to determine whether exoskeleton rehabilitation is clinically appropriate for you. This allows your therapist to consider your movement, strength, balance, functional abilities and rehabilitation goals before developing an appropriate programme.
