Exoskeleton
Exoskeleton

Ekso™ is a wearable robot or exoskeleton that enables people with lower-extremity paralysis or weakness to stand and walk. It is a ready-to-wear, battery-powered, bionic device that is strapped over the user’s clothing.

EksoNR is a robotic exoskeleton specifically designed to be used in a rehabilitation setting to progress neurorehab patients so they can walk out of the device and back into their communities. As the first exoskeleton FDA-cleared for acquired brain injury, stroke, multiple sclerosis (MS) and spinal cord injury, EksoNR offers the industry’s most natural gait, re-teaching the brain and muscles how to properly walk again.

What is the TMS Technique?

TMS is a non-invasive brain neuromodulation technique that modifies brain activity using magnetic fields, which in turn generate an electric field in the area to be treated, producing neuronal depolarization. In this way, it is possible to modulate brain activity, a useful technique in the diagnosis and treatment of different pathologies.

With over 13,900 scientific studies of this technique, the amount of scientific evidence is significant.

How Is It Applied?

Application is comfortable and simple. It is performed transcranially. A coil is placed over the patient’s scalp, and this coil produces a magnetic field. This magnetic field generates an electric current which manages to selectively modulate brain activity, without causing pain to the patient.

This technique can be applied in a single pulse, in paired pulses separated by intervals, or in trains of repeated pulses at various frequencies.

Benefits of TMS

To achieve the desired result, TMS must be applied regularly in order to generate neuroplasticity and effectively modulate brain activity. The following are some of the benefits this technique provides patients and professionals:

  • Non-invasive and painless technique.
  • Suitable for diagnosis and treatment.
  • Capable of generating evoked potentials.
  • High clinical effectiveness.
  • Significant scientific evidence.
  • Improves symptoms of a number of different pathologies.
  • Optimizes and allows customization of treatment for a number of different pathologies.
  • Reduced consumption of pharmaceuticals and hospital stay.
