ReWalk is a wearable robotic exoskeleton that provides powered hip and knee motion to enable individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) to stand upright, walk, turn, and climb and descend stairs*. The system allows independent, controlled walking while mimicking the natural gait pattern of the legs.

ReWalk offers two systems – ReWalk Personal 6.0 for individuals to use at home in the community, and ReWalk Rehabilitation for use at ReWalk Advanced Training Clinics. Click on the links below for more information, or contact us.
*Stairs function not currently available in the USA.
